Am i missing anything for this setup?
I'm going to order my watercooling from DangerDen and just wanted to pass it by the forums and see if anyone can add something or subtract something. My computer is a P4 2.8c running on a Gigabyte GA-8KNXP mother board.

WaterBlock : Copper TDX for Intel 478 Procssors (with extra o ring and accelerator nozels)
NorthBridge : Maze 4 Chipset Block for intel 865/875
Pump : Danger Den DD12-D4
Radiator : Standard Heater Core with shroud and evercool fan
Resivior : None - Danger Den Fill port and T fitting
Tubing : 10 feet Tygon 1/2" ID
Coolent : Zerex Super Coolent
Thermal Paste : AS5
Bunch of clamps to hold tubing on.

I'm holding off on getting a WB for my video card seeing as I have a 9800pro AIW (unless someone can sugest what I should use for that) so anything i'm missing or don't need here?

BTW, where do you normaly get distilled water?

Thanks :) I hope to be water cooling this next weeked
 
You dont need a northbridge block. They will only reduce overall flow to your system, and a fan is more then enough for northbridge cooling. Otherwise looks good. You can get distilled water at any grocery store.
 
On the North bridge for the same amount of cash you can get the swiftech MCX 159 air cooler that is more than enough of a job for the NB.

ON the water you want to make sure its gone through reverse-osmosis and been deionized. Any water labeled as distilled should have had this done. It should say on the label what processes the waters been through.
 
Thanks for the input guys :)

I just wish i was still at my school where we had a great little "faucet" in the chem labs where we could get distilled/deionized water. All i would need then is a container :)
 
The distilled water that comes out of the distilled taps (white) in school chem labs is actually normally NOT as purified as that you'll buy in stores (the taps of every lab are normally all connected to the same osmosis unit, and not completely purified ... believe it or not :) ). You would need to take the water from a MilliQ or similar purification unit in the lab .. in which case it is highly pure, much higher then store distilled (and even higher if you autoclave it). But nonetheless, distilled water from a store is very pure, and very cheap ($2/gallon ish)
 
Yeah, what we had was a nozel comming straight off of the unit itself, not a network of taps linked to a central unit. Was funny hearing all the time people warning not to use that to get a drink, lol (will do nasty things to your insides)
 
we make coffee with the distilled water at uni, mainly because the normal water pipes are so old that the water is rated at ph 3-4 at the tap.
