    7800gt waterblock advice

    Specing up my second watercool project my first was only a zalman reserator so still a bit of a noob to it.
    Want to use the new Swiftech H2O-APEX kit as the base but also want to add a waterblock for my 7800. Could someone recommend me one please ?
    Wanted to use the DangerDen one as this also cools the memory but it seems to have different tubing size to the swiftech kit. Cheers for any advice

    the tubing supplied with the switech kit will fit dangergen water blocks just need to warm the ends of the pipes in hot water so they slide on the barbs.check the dangergen website they can supply more 7/16 tubing if you need it http://www.dangerdenstore.com

    Niceone cheers mate that makes life alot easier . Thought the 7/16" tubing might be a swiftech only thing as i havent seen it anyway else.
    Will the dual rad in the swiftech kit be enough if im adding the 7800gt to the loop ?
    Want to push the gt as much as i can but wont be overclocking the cpu much a amd 4000+ ?

    How much is the swiftech kit? And does it have a storm/mcp655 combo? If it doesnt id be tempted to bin the kit idea and buy components seperately with that as your starting point.

    A 2x120 rad would be ok, but i wouldnt hold a lot of hope for running super quiet fans on it.

    The cheapest i have found it is from overclock for £164.44
    http://www.overclock.co.uk/customer/...roductid=18711
    Saw it in customPC last month where it got a rave review. Does come with the storm waterblock. Tried trying to find the components myself but dont have enough knowledge yet to know all the bits i would need so thought i would stick to kits for the time being.

    I put together my first watercooling rig (complete noob) consisting:
    PA160 Rad + panaflow M1
    A64 TDX
    NV-78
    D5 Pump
    Fillport
    1/2" Clearflex Tube

    (came to more than £164 though)

    It was easy, well atleast i didn't come across any problems so it 'felt' easy.
    It was nice to spec a rad to my requirements on size, and fans to use with a fan controller etc. no compromising.
    Might not be as difficult as you think?
