Hi folks, I'm new to this forum. i usually spend my time at the Guru3d forums but after browsing around TechGage there seems to be more of a passion for overclocking here.

I'm moving to Japan in six weeks and when I arrive I plan on building a new computer hoping to get either bleeding edge technology there or inexpensive cutting edge tech. Before I dive into things though, I have plans on teaching myself the ins and outs of overclocking (currently all I'm brave enough to do is use ATITool to overclock the video card).

My lead in to this "training" is going to be learning about water cooling. I have built dozens of computers over the last 15 years but never dealt with water cooling. As I read, it seems if one is going to get into extreme overclocking, one must use water cooling.

So can any one point me in the right direction. I'm looking for some threads on water cooling - maybe some FAQ styled - and some ideas on the best water cooling system that aren't too difficult to connect up.

thanks in advance!

Well considering the title of the topic is water cooling for nubs you could just get one of these. It's not as drastic as a complete water cooling system.

Back in the day Procooling.com had some awesome information, but lately the place is pretty deserted.

For the most comprehensive information on bleeding edge watercooling, check out the liquid cooling section at XS (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=70).

XS does have about the most complete info and how-to's on water cooling, but there are some fairly knowledgeable folks around here as well, that is if you can get them to sound off a little.

I'm over there from time to time as well, but I'm going to try and start coming by here a bit more often.
