Hmmm. I know what some of ya think about wc kits but I have already decided to buy one so lets move to the real thing.
This is what I'm thinking about:

Zalman Reserator 2 kit
Arctic silver 5 thermal paste
ZM-MWB1 mobo block
120mm Radiator (almost like the black ice extreme)

because the reserator 2 is passive kit it's cooling performace isn't so good. that's why I added the extra 120mm radiator to the list. So, what ya think about it? I guess that would be able to handle good cpu + high-end gpu as well, right? this is going to be my first wc

I'd say go for a 2/3 fan radiator instead of the Zalman, sure it's quiet, but then again the water is only the same temperature as the air that flows over the radiator.

So just get yourself a nice big 2/3fan radiator, set the fans on low, and it'll still be quiet and cool.

Just my 2 cents.
