Ok I replaced a old alphacool setup with a Kandalf LCS case ( I know but I needed a new case and I wanted a triple rad + I got it for the same price as the standard one).
Anyway I am going to replace the Pump for a D4 purchased from the mm so that will be a stepup from the thermaltake one and shift back to 1/2" pipe and the alphacool nexxxosxp cpu block (it's the plexi top one but not the light?).
Would that block be better than the supplied Thermaltake one? and would I be better to out the 120.3 rad in the front of the kandalf for another one (at the moment the rad and existing pump keep my 6600 @3.5ghz , 1.35v with the temp at 35 idle and 58 full load under tat but the rad is quite thin @35mm so any replacement would have to be the same)
At the same time I was thinking about setting up a 2nd loop for the northbridge and 8800gtx using a EK block for the GC with a 120.1 Black-ICE Xtreme 120mm radiator and a Eheim 600 Station pump and res. combo. it should keep the temps down on the gtx and will let me use some old parts I have laying around would the above combo be good enough for this.
I'm just looking for a bit of advice from you guys who have been watercooling a lot longer than me so any help would be appreciated
Now would I be better off jus
