    cpu temps with water cooling too high

    Thanks for the tips folks, I really appreciate it. I'm thinking of moving the dual 80mm rad outside the case and installing a single 120mmm rad in-line with it. I hope my swiftech mcp350 pump can handle all that (92GPH/350LPH, max pressure of 22 PSI, and nominal head of 13 ft). Finally, I...

    How can I tell? More importantly, how can I prevent them? Perhaps I should get a cpu block from Danger Den with an acrylic top.

After I fired up my system I was pleased that the temps on my 6800GT dropped noticeably. However, when I...
