my old setup was 2x danger den 120mm ratiors, 2 brandX pumps, a custom 5inch bay resevoir i made in shop, danger den cpu/gpu/ram sinks. i used 3/4 piping for the cpu system and 1/2 for the gpu/ram. watercooling the ram is tricky but i used a heat spreader with a gpu waterblock gheto rigged onto it. all this was easy to fit into the massive lian li case i had, but im not that nerd tacular anymore. i added pelitier cooling to all the blocks later but moisture was a problem so i stopped.

if you wana be a real man get http://www.vapochill.com/
I was looking at the Corsair external system (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835181004), very highly rated from what I've been reading so far, no issues from people that have been using it for a year or more and its a super good price too. Not to keen on the internal setups, it gets cluttered and the tubes get all looped and bent around which can add stress around the fittings, known some people to have them leak when the comp is off and the pumps vibrate and buzz and aren't all the quiet.

If you're going to do watercooled right you better do what the big boys do.

I like what this guy says in his review:

"Cons: Leaked after 1st install. Every connetion to the radiators was leaking. Thankfully it was all outside the case!! Easily fixed the leaks though."

I like this one a bit better than the Corsair:

regardless of what system you get, you may/will experence leaks. Just man up and buy better processor instead of trying to keep that unstable processor cool.

BTW, what processor are you running and how much have you overclocked it to?

any of the newer processor familys run cool just due to the smaller die and less voltage.

What I used to be able to do with water on an old 2.6c you can easily do on a new 939 chip with air alone

37C at idle and 45C while gaming.. and this is on air.

Hmmmm, reading that, I'm going to update my BIOS and check the settings, something is up then. I have one of the new Pentium D 930 cpu's (Dual Core 3.0 Ghz) with a cheapo ECS P4M800PRO-M Motherboard.
