    Thanks million

    Is that bay res http://www.xs-pc.co.uk/baypump.php ?

    How on earth did you get that radiator sitting on the top with the fans on the underside?!

    Also, I noticed that you dont have anything on the northbridge... I would have thought that would be something that is a necessity to cool if you're going to go mad on the oc'ing?
    Or am I wrong?

    I really want to get watercooling setup now XD
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    You mean thanks a million?

    I'm guessing it's an XSPC bay res too. I think he did a bit of modding on his case to accommodate the radiator.

    As for the northbridge cooling, you don't always need to cool it. As long as there is airflow it will be cooled sufficiently.

    That all looks very neat, I've just done my first water cooling, tested it on an old socket A and it's looking ok, I want to get a block for my E6600 and for my X1900 and put it in my main pc.

    1. It's this one: http://www.***********.net/reviews.p...ervoir__black_

    2. I used an angle grinder to cut a hole in the top (leaving tabs through which to screw fittings), bolted the rad to the top and the fans to the other side, so that there wasn't too much on the outside or the inside. I would really like some sort of shroud to go round the rad some day.

    3. I rely one the heat pipe technology of the mobo combined with the good airflow through the case to cool the northbridge. I have yet to OC my Q6600, but taking the E6600 I had before up to 3.3GHz didn't overheat it, so I have faith!

    Thanks filbert, I posted a message for you about that setup. It's almost identical to what I had before (E6600 and X1900XTX) in this same case, but running on a 120.1 radiator.
