Thanks Avenged, and well I have never tried any sort of over clocking before, I would like to but guess abit worried about over doing it, done a few 3D Mark test and my scores with everything standard its hmm its ok just not great, its the Physics where it seems to suck badly.

I might start over clocking just thing I need to do abit of reading up

Not sure if I prefer the UV lighting or the Blue LED lighting at the moment as both give of rather different effects.

Cheers for the advice again and I guess that is very true guess its one of the main reason to watercool so may as well try get most out of what I have, may have a little play around now see what happens.

I have just switched over the the UV tubes instead of the blue LEDS and yea have to agree actually its a lot more subtle and much prefer it now

Cheers for the comments It has been fun to do don't get my wrong but very worrying at times, sparks and PC turning off was I think the worst point.

I started to read up on the over clocking and so many settings by the looks of these guides it confuses me lol
