Liquid Cooling
I'll be getting a liquid cooling system. These are what I've picked out: Pump: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6835108063North bridge block: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6835108079Radiator: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6835108086CPU block: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6835108093Coolant: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6835103048Of course I still need the tubes, which I will buy at a hardware store. So my question is, for the people with water cooling, are those all the parts I need? Or am I missing anything?

Re: Liquid Cooling
I overclock. Or say, I DID overclock, then my overheating alarm went off. Took my E8400 up to 3.75ghz.
...And those motherboard issues were due to lies on Intel's compatibility tables. It said it would work but it didn't.

Re: Liquid Cooling
I'd rather spend $250 and overclock slightly than keep my system idling at 55 degrees celsius and using 3/4 of my processor.

Re: Liquid Cooling
Also most coolants are just water + like two other chemicals. Use mineral oil if you really feel like being special.

Re: Liquid Cooling
I'd rather spend an extra $50 in a faster processor than $250 in cooling systems just to squeeze a few extra Mhz out of an old CPU. But if cash ain't a problem, I'd say go for it. After all, having weird shiny tubes running around your PC case is one of the best ways to increase it's overall awesomeness, specially if you add a couple of LEDs to make the whole thing glow. And hey, at least your case is made of neat acrylic. Last time I buit a computer, I had to use a broken typewriter as a case because anything else was too expensive.
