Overclocking help

[blue_fire]

I would go with the cpu 305 or the cpu 330 no huge performance diffrence, but you dont have to have the spacer(hiders performance a little). Get two of the north bridge blocks and use one for the South bridge(trust me its well worth it.) i love the RAM blocks they work great( they work REALLY well if you take of the heat spreaders and just use the thermal pad). The compression fittings are better than barbs cause you have a better seal but not by much. Ultra blocks are good. what else did you want to water cool?

thanks for the tips blue_fire , i don't want anything els to w/c but i mean about the pumps and radiators and reservoirs that i don't know anything about them :s so can you tell me whats the best?

and i wont be ordering the ram block because i found out that it doesn't fit the dominator

Oh yea lol i shoulda caught that. lol Personally the RP units are way kicken cause they are a drive bay pump, res, and temperature probe. They will shut power to you system to a halt stat if anything gets to hot. For you i would reccomend the 1kw external mount rad, or a thermochill 120.3 either one will rock those 8800's. The tnk is a res pump set up too that you can just hide in a corner of your case if you want. Here are the tnk's im talking about, and here is the rp unit i had in mind(unless you wanted silver).

I would highly recommend going all 3/8", and getting a couple quad splits to get your HDDs cooled, those raptors are hot drives! I am goin to link a couple of things below that I think should be in your system.

Cpu block
North Bridge block
South Bridge block
Gpu blocks
Hard drive coolers
Pump, Rad and Res
Quad Splits
Drain Valve
GPU sli connector

Avoid products using the bag type block . . .they are not worth the trouble


I had 3 out of 4 Koolance ram blocks leak . . .tore em out and also got rid of the HDD cooler as well. My Maze 4 ghetto HDD cooler works well in Autopsy . . .

thanks guys you've been very helpful and when i complete the w/c i will post back here.

thanks again

No prob, yea they hydra packs have very good performance, but since they are a pack they do have the possibility of breaking. The HDD coolers are very very efficient.

I think the mobo hydrapack with the NEXTGEN included mods would be more beneficial . . .as I said u can look HDDS with fans or just thermal epoxy a normal waterblock to it as I have done. Get one of those big arse Koolance blocks if u choose to build a Koolance loop and use it

I looked around alittle and I saw the exos-2 the external kit, does it perform as well as the drive bay pump and res and the external rad?
