    I want to know your i7 temps

    I was just hoping to get a little lower temps for my 4GHz overclock, something the H50 lacked so I upgraded. Its a dedicated CPU only loop and I have 4 medium YLs in push/pull (no shroud). Ambient is around 24C. Yeah its nice that its all bled and quiet now :]

    Radiator orientation

    so I have my radiator in push/pull config with medium yateloons. I have it mounted in my antec 902 like this: and I can remove the tricools but I wanted to leave them in since it makes it look nicer. I was wondering if this would somehow negatively affect the airflow through the radiators?

    Gaming rig specs, any suggestions?

    I actually have no idea. I've seen some sales the 470 is at 280-300ish now? I'm not sure. I would just go with whichever is cheaper. EDIT: Heres a deal on the 5850 over at Overclock : http://www.overclock.net/online-deals/826348-xfx-radeon-hd-5850-244-cad.html

    I think the 5850 is a little slower (a few frames) than the 470 from what I've found. I would probably go with the 5850 if you're trying to save money.

    Gaming rig specs, any suggestions?

    I would go with at least a 5850. They may play your games now, but what about later? I dont know, just something to think about. I don't know that much about ATI/Raedon graphics though so dont take my word for it!

    Gaming rig specs, any suggestions?

    I dont think you'll have any problems. It fits in the rear exhaust but you have to change it so the fans intake air instead since it'll be cooler. I'll try to look for some pictures if you need.

    Gaming rig specs, any suggestions?

    You could always look into the Corsair H50/H70. They are prebuilt, self contained, sealed water cooling kits. You mount the block and the fan and you're good. I personally have one and its zero maintenance. EDIT: Heres a link for a review. http://skinneelabs.com/corsair-h50.html This guy does...

    Upgrading RAM

    I bought these sticks of RAM a long time ago which is rated at 1600Mhz 9-9-9-24. I realize this is kind of slow compared to most people's timings. I was looking at these Mushkin sticks which are rated 6-8-6-24. I'm wondering if I would be able to notice any difference if I upgraded. Would I...

    Oh, the PSU is fine then. I just thought you were trying to go all out and future proof it haha. and do you plan to get an aftermarket cooler for that 950? I would highly recommend it.

    Gaming rig specs, any suggestions?

    I would also recommend a bigger PSU in case you want to future proof your rig in case you want to overclock or upgrade graphics or run CF/SLi Edit: For such a nice rig you should upgrade your graphics card.
