    draining water system with bay reservoir?

    I'm pretty sure it was mounted correctly... I held the block down firmly, then tightened the screws till it started to compress the springs, then tightened them all 6 times in a X pattern as instructed by the manufacturer. but thanks, next time I'll make very very sure it's perfectly square...

    draining water system with bay reservoir?

    I used a small sized ball and spread it out with my finger through a plastic bag like they say on arcticsilver.com... I think I might have even used too little the last time...

    draining water system with bay reservoir?

    I've ran clean water through it a few times, and there still is stuff floating in it... I'm about to just take it outside and hook the hose up to it... I'm thinking either that or getting a filter and running it in the system for a few hours to clean the system out really well... Now I...

    What to do about my overheating?

    slk900 does look nice, about 20 bucks less and in stock some places... Hard to choose... I'd like a new case so I'd have room for other things (I want to add an 5.7" LCD some day)... Thanks for the ideas guys...

    What to do about my overheating?

    I've thought about water cooling, but it would be a big investment... I don't have room in my case for it, I would need a full tower for sure. That would put me over my budget, I'm guessing at least 100 bucks for a case, another 250 for water block, radiator, hoses, pump, power, reservoir etc...

    What to do about my overheating?

    I currently have an A7N8X nf2u board, with a mobile 2600+ running at 210x11.5 1.625v core 2.7v DDR... It's starting to run very hot around 58c with prime95 maxheat torture test. I've got an alpha pal8045 with a 80mm tornado going at full speed all the time. At 1.625 it still isn't as stable as...
