Water Cooled / OC Problem.

I set up the CPU Water Cooling kit, and it's great, I also found the problem of why I couldn't get to 4.0GHz stable, it's my PSU, so I'm going to up that, and probably clock the CPU to around 4.5.

I also have to buy fittings for the second radiator, the one without the fan on it.

Awesome! Why do you have two rads though?

Looks great! Shame about your PSU though! Couldn't you buy a "cheap" ish second one?
 
watch your cpu block for cracking mine leaked all over my old graphics card but i seen it dripping before it done any damage!

watch the resivour for cracks mine leaked.

i got the bigwater 745 last year and i wasnt over impressed with the pump and cpu block, the pump pushes around 500ltr's an hour
 
My friend has been using the same CPU block for 2 years, with no problems, the pump is great so far, it pumped the water from the reservoir to the CPU pretty fast.

Here's some more pictures.

Just read what you said now, lol, going through the thread again.

My friend added the second radiator for free, so I'm going to buy a fan for it, and mount it somewhere.

And I wouldn't want two PSU's in the case, I may buy my friends OCZ PSU for like $50, and it's $100 new, if not, I'll buy something similar.
 
I got ignored, you've changed man! :P

Would having two rads in a loop drop the temps though? Looks awesome though, I want!
 
Nice! Ive been trying to save up for a watercooling setup. Loop i want would cost me about $250... i have $60 atm.. Looks great!
 
looks good. if you are using a raidmax PSU I would seriously reconsider getting a high quality PSU as an insurance policy for your nice setup.

I'm not sure, but all I have to do if buy fittings for the second radiator and a fan.

I'll let you know though.

The kit I have now was around $80 at Radioshack.

Yes, yes, I planned on getting a new one anyways, I can't maintain a stable 4.05GHz overclock, with out it restarting when I go into a Game.

Just purchased this from TigerDirect for $20, apparently my Northbridge was getting hot when I was trying to overclock, and apparently the stock NB may have bad thermal paste and the fan isn't that good, so hopefully this should work.. Since I overclocked 3.60GHz just fine, so maybe it's a heat issue.

I also got the 700Watt GameXstream from a friend for $50.

Did you change the heatsink on the northbridge yet? Be very careful since a lot of people seem to destroy their chipset when they try to remove em.
