I have been thinking about watercooling my rig for a while now. I would like to see some potential temps before and after watercooling if possible.
My current rig is in my sig.... Current CPU temps go from 28*-40* under load
but my X1800 XT goes from 44*-78* under load, both are overclocked (see sig)
I would be looking at getting a 120/2 rad and cooling my GPU and CPU first of all. I would then maybe look at cooling the northbridge afterwards. If i introduce water cooling, do most people still have case fans running for cooling HDDs etc? or just the Rad fans?
Also are there any up-to-date articles on the net about best components etc. I have a coolermaster stacker and would like to keep all of the cooling within the case if possible. (Its a pretty big case), anyone got any feedback on how well cooling works in this case, and layouts used etc?
Any help appreciated!
