Water cooling worth it? Also, Lights!

rebornhalo · 11-02-2009, 08:30 AM

Just what the title asks, Is water cooling worth the trouble to keep your components cool? I would like to hit no issues with heat so.. Just wondering what the best options would be.

And cool lights! List some!
I'm pretty indecisive, so maybe lights that i can control the color of? Maybe something similar to alienware's control center thing? =)

Thanks y'all!

yes providing you use a quality water cooling system

Well do you mind suggesting one, or can someone else? I'm not sure what to look for in a water-cooler.

My thoughts, water and electricity don't play well together and there is not enough gain to justify the expense.
I have heard some good thing about this one:

I also vote for Swiftek. Build a rig using a Swiftek cooler over a year ago and that beat is still pounding along. NO LEAKS!
