Hello all, I'm looking into cooling options for my comp. I see that there's electro-thermal cooling, water cooling, and water cooling with compression (expensive I hear). I've decided on water cooling. Now the question is this: what are the most trusted products for water cooling (and electrothermeal cooling if kind enough to provide)? In other words, if I want to buy a PSU and do so blindly, Zalman or Fortron PSUs are recommened by many. Same type of question but for water cooling; what companies are most trusted?

Thank you very much for any and all input.

Oh, I should mention that this water cooling kit is for the "Slience" Antec Sonata case. It is a mid-tower with 3 ext. 5.25 bays, so I wouldn't call it exactly roomy. Still, I would like water cooling. How is the Thermal Aquairs III? What bout Corsair?

Thank you

umm the thermaltake aquarious III wont fit in your case, or any case for that matter. The aquarious II will quite easily fit and that is what i have and it runs pretty good id have to say. also ive never seen or heard of water cooling by corsair :t

With all due respect, I wouldn't expect to put the aquarious III in the case. I believe it's external. Nonetheless, your confidence in Thermaltake is soothing. The Corsair water cooling kit can be found here:

well there you go learn something new everyday lol well yeah im pretty sure the corsair water cooling and the aquarious III would both perform quite similary and both would outperform the aquarious II maybe someone else can shed some light on what one is better as ive not had any experience with either sorry but good luck:t
