A friend of mine is thinking of getting this case with the watercooling.
His system is a Gigabyte Nforce4 ultra\XP4000 that is more than happy with standard cooler at 2.8ghz using 1.6v at about 40-44 load.
He has SLI 6800 GT (gigabyte)
So what VGA blocks to use?
Is the Northbridge worth putting in the loop.
Will this system do the job.
Dont really want mega cooling but quiet\stable at same or more CPU speed and vid cards both at ultra speeds stable.

So it will struggle with overclocking even though CPU runs totaly fine with stock cooler at 2.8ghz even at load with 1.6v through it.
Would the swiftech be better than the Alphacool nexXxoS.
As I say its not my rig, mine is very quiet on air. but he wants some sort of quiet and keep the speed. sounds like a jet at the moment, the gigabyte fans are loud in the GTs

think he is quite into try watercooling.

I would like to bring this up again.
He has bought a decent size case now, with a nice lot of room, so can you spec me some ideas to cool this lot.
Think he wants to go for some nice overclocks now.
