Thanks headala, would you recommend against one? I just would rather have a bit of eye candy, without blinging out UV, LEDs and colours. If I stick it in the case, I'm never going to see it. I have heard bad things about bay res's I'll admit but I think they look cool, and it would be a hassle...

My mistake. -_- Thanks for the advice, lad.

I'd read somewhere that WCing the RAM on your video card is overkill. Also, the EK FC8800GTS uses aluminium, isn't it a bad idea to mix metals?

Alright, after some thought I'm ditching the rad and going for a PA 120.3. So I'm going to buy most of the parts I need in one go soon to avoid additional cooling costs. A second opinion and more informed advice on what I'm going for here would be appreciated. I think I'm going to go with...

Going to cool the video card too, yeah. I keep reading that it doesn't matter too much what order you put your stuff in, but I can't help but think if my video card can run up close to 100c without taking bad damage, and my CPU can't go much hotter than 60/65, it must be a bad move to have the...

I'll maybe do that then, and what about keeping an element of air cooling? Don't suppose you have any idea what sort of temps I should be expecting from this? Currently with case fans blasting and stock coolers on my video card/CPU I'm getting about 56c idle on each, that's with the video card...

Thinking about putting a PA120.2 out the top, even if it is a bit of a messy fit, just to get my temps as low as possible. I'm also thinking about keeping an element of aircooling in the case to keep the bridges cool and have a lower ambient temperature. Yay or nay?

Thanks. Don't suppose you have a worklog of the W/Cing just for me to take as another reference?

Sideroxylon, I guess you bought a sheet of that stuff you used for your grill, and used your existing grill as a template for cutting it and slotting it?

I think you need to do a bit of modding to be able to flip it, I read ASIA911. Have a look here: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=110535 Another question, would I see much benefit changing the pump? I read people saying sometimes that lo-flow is just as good for cooling...

I guess I could always sell my rad, as it's still boxed and unused, but would I really see a big performance difference?

Thanks for the quick reply. I like the look of your sound damping thing down there, would suit a useless guy like me. Is it really as stable as you say though? I guess I haven't got the best equipment I could have got, but I assume the stuff I have is still decent enough to use and get fairly...

Evening. Going to start my first w/c project soon, got a couple of parts for it already, a Black Ice GT Stealth III rad, and a DDC-Pump Pro. I'm going to be cooling an 8800GTS and C2D e6300. I don't really see a need to cool my north/south bridge, although I'll be overclocking a little. Going to...

Morning lads. Just wondering if there's any good guides to pumps about. I really don't know anything about what to look for, what sort of pressure I'd need or... anything else really. Thanks a lot.
