well guys, years ago i saw my friends water cooling system, and remember the utter hassle he had setting it up buying seperate parts and modding his case.
I decided to get lian-li v1000 / koolance all in one system.
Very happy I did, i had a load of messing it took me hours to setup. i cut the pipes too short and when i came to fit the parts to the board there was kinks in the pipes
.
Here is a pic of the final product

- edit picture link now working guys!
The block is the danger den 8800gtx block, i decided to stick with 1/2" tubing as the flow rate is much better!
I was previously running a tuniq tower and three 37db case fans, my temps with my cpu at 3000mhz under load where around 65c. Sometimes more! the problem is where i store my pc is under a desk near my sub which generates a lot of heat. I have nowhere else to put it so im kinda stuck with this!
I am over the moon with my temps, my idle temps are around 35c. I have not seen my temps raise above 44c under load and my CPU is back upto 3.4ghz setting! im definitely going to push it further, i'm amazed I really didn't expect it to work so well. I'm running the fans at speed 8 / 10 and it's so much quieter than i'm use to with running YStech fans.
What i will do is add a motherboard chipset block as the temps for this have reached 47c under load.
