I guess you're right, I compared the cards at hwcompare.com. I might get two 560Ti cards out of two older builds with WC blocks Got to reconsider maybe, but I really like WC'ing :P And I don't get the same results on air...

Well, it is not just the performace/price aspect for me. i like this hobby. I enjoy overclocking my components, and I enjoy watercooling. I will have a loop in my computer anyway, and the two extra waterblocks is just 40 dollars a piece, and I will have my next GPU underwater as well, so I think...

I see. I am going to overclock as hard as I can both the CPU and bouth GPU's. I have calculated that Thees three components will draw a maximum of 800 watts. I also guess that most off this energy will dissipate as heat. The computer will be standing in my girlfriends bedroom, so it needs to be...

Yes, I will have another 240 thicker radiator in the front, but i will need at least 2 radiators to cool 2 GPU's and a cpu. A 280 rad won't fin in the top spot for radiators? Are you sure a 280 rad won't fit in top? This means I have to use a 240 thin rad witch will reduce my cooling capacity...

Hi fellas! If one must choose, would you choose thick radiator or thick fans (wich generates higher static pressure) ? I have found a fan type that is only 15mm thick, and I wonder, will a deeper radiator be more benefitial than higher static pressure? Here is the fan I was talking...

I'll keep that in mind when I'm ordering! But at the moment, it seems like a 60-80 dollar price bump to go with Frozen CPU. So I'll have to consider it, but at least I know about all the factors. Thanks!

continued e-mail correspondence: me: "If I understand correctly, I will not have any form of warranty from anyone on my pump, and if something should go wrong with the unit, I will not get a replacement unit for free? In that case it would be "gambling" on my part to buy this pump? Do you...

Here is the e-mail correspondence between me and Performance-PCs: My e-mail: "Hi! I am considering to buy the Swiftech MCP655 G3/8 Threaded Edition instead of the original with barbs. In that manner, I am wondering about the process of the modification. 1. Is this pump as durable as the...

Last I checked, performance-pcs was cheaper, or equal in price on every component. I live in Norway, so shipment is going to cost me 120 dollars. If I order some products from another site, I would spend more in extra shipment, than I could possibly save on any low percentage offer. But I will...

This is getting very interesting! I thought that any modding of the original was unwise, and would be more likely to fail than the original. But this modding is done with quality craftsmanship I presume? I have never before read about the risk of barbs, it has never crossed me while I have...

WaTaGuMp: I already have the noctuas, but that was a good tip.

I thought I could just open up the PSU and pull out the fan cable? Or if not, replace it with a 140mm case fan? Back to the pump: I am planning to have my pump in the bottom of my case, and use hose clamps for the barbs. I thought that i probably would get it tight, and if there should be...

I need to check my PSU fan then... And if nesessary, connect the PSU fan cable to my motherboard to have a constant airflow. about the threaded pump? what is the difference? can you post a link please?

That will not be a problem ;) I love studying my new parts before mounting :P I guess I will use an entire day/weekend on the mounting and overclocking... I have to put up a separate airflow in my case for cooling the heatsinks on the videocard, for the VRM and mosfets. So I think I will make a...

I have already bought the water at my local hardware store. Paid 7,5 $ for a little over a gallon. Done is done, right? The cutting tool I might get if I can find it in a local hardware store. I got an extra set of hands to help me fill the tank, so I don't think I need the bottle, but...
