I aint used that top but i think it comes with some sorta screws. If it was me i would use some elastic bands or similar to suspend it in mid air to keep vibration down.

Gonna order rest next week thursday ;)
Yeah thinking of pushing abit more but will see what kind of temp i get first, tried 4.1 ghz on air but it wouldnt be stable. Quite happy with 4.0 but if can get more def will....also cant unlink ram from cpu if you know what i mean....its p5q deluxe mobo thing :rolleyes:

Currently running 3:4, RAM at 1066. What voltage you mean ?? ram or cpu ??
Never really tried to overclock before, did my reading up about it but have left it till get water....all that did for my current OC was change fsb from 333 to 400 :D

i know from when i was first buying my kit....no where has the decent pumps for sale!!! if i waited for OCUK or a few other well known "watercooling" shops to get them in i would still be waiting. (in fact its still impossible for me to get the pump i want without paying £10 more than its advertised for in OC??)
 
Think gonna order more stuff today, quick one...still undecided on GPU block, heard EK ones are good but have problems?!? EK or XSPC..also whats difference between acetal and non acetal :confused:

Well your not looking in the right places as you could go order a couple now all cheaper than OC.

I Have only used EK blocks on my 4870's and 4870X2 but i would prolly go with a aqua computer ones as there very very nice looking.

Only found 2 places online that sell them, also both out of stock so emailed them to find out when gonna be in. Cant find any reviews either
 
One thing you need to know is look at the top where the barb holes should be. This block wont run crossfire i dont think so maybe best to go EX or XSPC if you ever plan on it. Iv used the EK ones and never had any problems. As for actel its just a black top on the block otherwise they come in acrylic tops so you can see inside.
 
Nice one, have found direct link to the actual manufacturer in germany so might get it. Not looking to cossfire as will have this PC until 32nm die shrink of i7 comes out....then will give it to my bro-in-law and will rebuild from scratch. Sure by then GPU's will be different.
Still time to decide though before order, at least know know my options thanks to your help :)
