    These are some videos that I was looking at on youtube while I was doing research for an upcoming water cooled PC that I will be building when the Ivy Bridge-E is released.

    These are my favorite videos starting from most informative to least informative:

    This is the most useful video by Lifehacker:


    This one gave me useful info towards the end of the video about using a power supply tester to get the air out of the pump and some other useful tips:


    This one showed me some of Cooler Master's water cooling solutions (my favorite case manufacturer):


    Enjoy :) and feel free to add your own tips of useful videos that you have come across.

    Just did my watercooling loop a month ago or so.
    Planning the loop was imho the hardest part. Make sure you get a good WC friendly case. Something like MAGNUM TH10 from Caselabs.
    If you're picking a tube reservoir, go with alphacool.
    Might want to consider a reservoir+pump combo.
    Koolance CPU-380i is the best cpu waterblock now.
     
  3. TH10 is as big as my master bedroom.

    Great quality cases though.

    Thanks for the tips :) I like all those water cooling products except for the Magnum TH10 case (its a pretty plain looking case for a starting price of $530). I think that I would probably go with my preferred case manufacturer (Cooler Master) .
