triple rad is good especially with two GPU's iwaki pump or alternatively two aquaextreme 50Z's in series the swiftech rad is cheap and pretty good but for balls to the wall cooling I would get a thermochill PA120.3 links xtremesystems check the stickies

I can't here my D5 over my case fans even on the highest setting are you hearing the pump or is it resonating through the case I used vibration damping mounts (page 1250 from www.mcmaster.com) which may work better than your pad

the only kits worth buying are the swiftech ones.................. all of those are poor at best I would recommend you read a couple of WC forums stickies start with xtreme and extreme overclocking and then decide what is best for you from an informed position I would rather have...

they don't have to blow air out, it is more important to have nice cool room air for your rad many people, myself included draw air into their case through the rad mine is mounted on the floor of my case (LL V2000) drawing air in the air from the rad is not warm enough to cause any...

go read the stickies at xtreme and extreme overclocking and you will not be lost anymore, its all there

sanyo denki's rock they are the fan favorite on the WC boards at XS..............I have a couple of them myself

someone else will probably chime in and say how great their budget kit is, but, IMHO you either go with a good WC setup (which includes the swiftech kits BTW) or just get top notch air cooling. the PITA:benefit factor isn't there for budget WC when a TT big typhoon is as good as some of those...

its supposedly non-conductive...............................

sli-D and sli-DR are pretty much the same except the extra 4 SATA ports the expert has better 4-phase power regulation but is a little harder to set-up and hasn't been around quite as long

scatter, start over, for your needs you need a higher end custom WC setup e-bay is for selling stuff (i wanted to say $hit) like the big water keep it simple, one good rad is good enough, get either a heatercore (cheap) or a 120X2 or 120X3 rad, a good pump, and a new CPU block return...

have you read the O/C guide at DFI-STREET.COM???? there is also a section for O/C database where people post there settings, always a good start you need to decide whether you are going with 2X512Mb or 2X1Gb, I would stay away from 4X512Mb setups if you want to O/C

process is king............for profits and efficiency of production

well not exactly if you are using a LOW resistance setup like a MCW6000, then yes flow rates are not that important but for a block like the STORM, which is a restrictive block, 1/2" system is going to give better flow that is why the swiftech APEX ULTRA kits are 1/2" barbed (with 7/16"...

different experience for me with WC very quiet and I don't touch it for six months at a time at which I will drain it and refill.............. check out the stickies at Xtremesystems for advice the swiftech block you mention is OK but very old, it would work OK with the pumps provided...

I have a D5 and a D4, the D5 is MUCH quiter................. the aquaextreme 50Z (same as old swiftech mcp600) is also quiet
