You can build your own watercooling system for under $150 or you can buy a pre-made kit for around $250-300. The best solution would actually be phase-change cooling like the Promethia uses. They come pre-installed in cases and run $600.

I would disagree - if you don't happen to have a metal ship handy, it would be exceedingly difficult to make your own water cooling system... and it would 100% definitely cost more than $10, unless you happen to just have tubing, pumps, and waterblocks designed for CPU's lying around

Do you think 10$ is very cheap, but all equipment to do ones in my country is cheap. You will have an strong radiator and your temp is low. www.vnoczone.com let's visit this site

$10 is extremely cheap - you would be hard pressed to find enough plastic tubing to move the water in a watercooling system for $10... Waterblocks and all go for $50 and more for the decent ones... Pumps are anywhere from $20 to $120, depending on how much flow you need/want, and radiators are from $15 (very cheap and low quality) to $100 (used car radiators ) I went to the site you recommended, and I realized that I cannot read Vietnamese While equipment may be cheap in your country, if you are not making everything yourself from scratch or using scavenged parts, then it would be quite difficult to do it for $10...

Well, if that actually is $30 (can't tell, again, my Vietnamese fails me All I can say (phonetically, not spelled right) is "Toai noi muo't it Tdieng Viet" ), then that is a very impressive setup for a mere $30. However, gear everywhere else that I know of, including where Re@l probably is, is going to a tad more expensive $10 will barely buy a decent quality meal here
