I've just about completed building my HTPC. Built in a nMediaPC 5000B. I am currently using the stock Intel cooler that came with the 2500K, however wanted some opinions on better cooling options (only interested in air cooling, no sealed w/c sink's). According to nmediapc's site here ...
I decided to move to water cooling after deciding to WC a couple GTX 480's. So I have little modding experience, and no WCing experiencing, but I think I did my homework well enough to piece together a decent couple of loops.
Im going to let the pictures do most of the talking on this one, but...

Not sure what I was reading but I thought using some PrimoChill ICE would be a good idea for my first loop. I ordered a shit load (6) 32oz bottles, and it's clear with UV Green dye bomb kits. I have not assembled the system yet but as I have been reading more and more about gunk buildup prone...
So I am transitioning into liquid cooling for the first time in wake of the GTX480 temps. I purchased all the parts except the 480's and have an idea of how I plan to run the loop. I want your opinions and experiences.
Entire loop will be using "Tygon R3400 1/2in. ID3/4in. OD Lab Tubing...

So I have a strange issue with an EVGA P55 Micro board which I've had been running a GTX285 in without any problems. So I got this used Sparkle GTX260 and when I install it and try to boot I get like 3-4 beeps, a short pause, and then another 2 beeps. And nothing happens after that.

So Semi Accurate posted a article bashing the power requirements of Fermi (nothing new here), however He raised a good point. The card is said to require a >600W 12v 42a rail. The Corsair HX1000 has dual 40a 12v rails... so am I correct in believing that this 1000w PSU won't be able to handle...
