While all sorts of pontons and PRs, I pursued one simple goal - productive silence. My system builder is quite simple, but it was not possible to agree with the processor as a gift with the processor; Then there will be pictures and little text, if you are interested in asking under the cat.
Initially it looked like this
There was an attempt to use monstro-coolers, but gradually the desire disappeared, the radiator very quickly clogged up with dust. ')
But it was not sports, so I thought about water cooling, it’s interesting all the same. I thought for a long time, not less than six months. In the end, going from the cold AMD to the hot cakes from Intel, got ready. I bought everything over the hill, prices for reference cite Moscow (can be compared with bumburum)
What I needed:
Radiator
processor water block
fitting
hose
storage tank
water pump
distilled water
Initially, there was an intel core i5 and a haf912 case. I chose the radiator simply, as the manufacturer recommends installing radiators on top there, then there were two options - the standard 2x120mm or not the standard 200mm square. I bought the case because of 200mm fans, there are two of them, one in front and one on top. So the square radiator took its place. The radiator is by the way called Phobya Xtreme 200 .
Processor waterblock is the no-alternative EK Supreme HF EN Nickel Acetal . Why no alternative? I liked (externally + read a couple of reviews ) and that's it ... Installation, though well described in the instructions, but confused because of the large number of connections. It is necessary to put an amplifying plate.
I chose the biggest fittings and hoses , and why not? inner diameter is 13mm (1/2 "), outer 19mm (3/4").
The turn of 4 case fans is occupied by the controller Skythe KazeMaster, the fan speed does not exceed 600-700. This achieves silence, and 200 millimeter fans do their job.

expensive? Oh yeah ... Was it worth it? I do not know yet. The temperature of the probe under load has dropped by 30 degrees.
Up to, on the complete cooler After, on the water
Well, a couple of final photos
Update.
The pump has a speed adjustment from 1 to 5. It is noiseless at 1 speed, at 5 it is even very buzzing.
The video card is sold, the new one is selected and will naturally be cooled with water.
All parts I bought on specialtech.co.uk, they have delivery in the world.
I already have both SSD and maximum memory.
The processor is not overclocked.
I bought everything myself, paid with paypal, collected everything myself.
The project is not finished, I'm waiting for gtx680 and the water block, something should come out
