GIGABYTE 3D Mercury - liquid cooling case questions

GIGABYTE 3D Mercury GZ-FW1CA-AJS Silver Aluminum ATX Full Tower Computer Case - Retail
(can't post newegg links cause I'm a new user)



I'm piecing together a new rig and I'm entertaining the idea of liquid cooling it. However, I've never liquid cooled a system and, thus, am not entirely knowledgeable.

The case comes with an AM2 CPU water block. The processor I'm planning to purchase is LGA 775. Where can I get an LGA 775 water block that I can use for this case? Is it something that will be easily swapped out?



In case you're interested, here's what I'm currently planning on:

• GIGABYTE 3D Mercury liquid cooled case
• Intel Core 2 Quad 3.0 GHz CPU
• ASUS Rampage Extreme mobo
• EVGA GeForce GTX 280 Hydro Copper 1GB DDR3 GPU (SLI at some point)
• ABS Tagan BZ Series 1100W PSU
• 2 x CORSAIR 4GB(2 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 RAM
• Western Digital VelociRaptor 300GB 10,000RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s
• BenQ 24" 2ms LCD (a second at some point)

Thanks for your help,
Andrew

Personally if it were me I would just get a few GOOD heatpipe Heatsinks.
To me water cooling is a lot of trouble.......you have that much more to worry about ......leaking/waterpump/more fans/higher $$$ for electricity.
I did the water cooling years ago......nowdays you have to spend $300+ for a half decent set-up...........when you can spend less than half of that and get yourself a CPU Heatpipe $30-$40....Northbridge Heatpipe $27 and Videocard Heatpipe $50............Just my Opinion
