I just ordered the following parts, first let me start with my current system/setup

P4C800 E DLX
3.2E D0 overclocked to 3.9 stable on stock vcore 24/7 and 4.12 benching with 1.53 vcore
OCZ PC4000 gold EL
BFG 6800 U OC (450/1.16 max overclock) <-- stock air cooling
480W thermaltake PS

I am have been watercooled for a month or so.

my current CPU cooling is moded Aquarius III external watercooling (removed the stock rad and put dual heatcore instead) this has helped my setup a lot

my temps b4 the mod were
(CPU @ 3.9) 39C idle and 53C load (25C room temp)

my temps after the heatcore mod
(CPU @ 3.9) 36C idle 47C load (25C room temp)

with my current setup at 4.12 my temps go a bit higher
(CPU @ 4.12) 39C idle 52C load (25C room temp)


and as we all know, these temps don't look so good for a watercooled system I decided to correct that and ordered a better wattercooling parts.


Swiftech MCP650 12v DC Pump
Swiftech MCW-50
Swiftech MCW6002-P
MCW50-NV4045 (GeForce 6) Kit
HydrX Extreme Duty Coolant
Criticool Waterplant reservoir
Clearflex 1/2" ID Tubing - 15 feet
1/2" Stem to 1/2" Hose Barb Fitting
dual heatcore with 2 120mm fans

first I was thinking to run 2 Separate loops, one for the CPU using the above parts, and one for the VGA using my moded Aquarius III, but I was told I would get better results running the parts that I just ordered with an addition of dual heatcore (2x heatcores) what you guys think? should I go ahead and run one loope like this

Pump>Rad1>Rad2>CPU>GPU>RES>Pump

opinions please

thanks
 
Id expect you to do noticeably better with just the swifty setup alone doing both CPU and GPU. It should do a great job. The aquarius is nice for what its made to do but wont match the Setup listed, even for just cooling the GPU block.

The loop order is good. Pretty well exactly how I have it( minus the dual cores-Damn you!)

Now pump up that OC!

hehehheh thanks a lot bro, I will go ahead and do that then. I went ahead and got the second dual heatercore, now I am only waiting for the parts to get here (ordered the stuff from the USA and live in the UAE) it looks like the parts will take a bit longer time for me to see them (our president passed away a couple of days ago, he was simply a great man, he is going to be missed by us as well as all other arab countries) anyway, since his death, a lot of places has been closed, and will remain closed for few more days or so.

I will let you guys know how it goes as soon as I see the parts and install them, I will have some before and after temps, along with some hopefully better VGA overclock speeds.
