    i had a dream about watercooling

    I would not recommend that tubing. The wall is quite thin thus it kinks quite easily. I'd say use 7/16 ID masterkleer, also 5/8 OD tubing. You can't go wrong for that price imo.

    What are the best cases these days for watercooling?

    It's very doable. I don't think the PA120.2 will fit. The MCR220 would fit, even with 2 fans. Don't see how it couldn't use both. (Ihave an mcr320 up top with three fans) I made my own brackets for mounting the rad to the fan bracket tabs. You can also buy silverstone made brackets now I...

    What are the best cases these days for watercooling?

    I have a silverstone TJ09 with watercooling. I mounted an MCR320 in the top vent area exhausting and the back and front intake. Also I am replacing the window with black mesh for the radiator to suck cooler air. Anyhow, it's a bit of a meh case for watercooling. If budget is no concern, which is...

    Considerding my first (personal) venture into water cooling...

    Hello, I would not recommmend combining lowbudget and watercooling. The dangerden things you listed there are mostly inferior to things equally priced (or at least close). For a radiator I'd recommend a swiftech MCR220 QP. There is even a version with an integrated reservoir. If you would use...

    Asus P5B + Q6600?

    Not much, only a few features like Firewire (I think, not sure) and a heatpipe cooler which actually isn't very good. With decent cooling overclock results should be quite similar.

    Quiet 120mm fans

    Mid speed Yate Loons maybe? I think those are available in LED versions, but I can't find any atm. These are lowspeed: http://www.petrastechshop.com/12yalod1blle.html I don't know if you can get 50CFM at less than 25 dBA .. sounds a bit too good to be possible.

    Kill all power to a PCI-e graphics card?

    Doesn't the motherboard have integrated graphics perhaps? You could use that if you had it and lose the graphics card altogether.

    AS5 Applied to Cooler Rather then CPU

    Actually, the stock intel cooler footprint is smaller than the cpu surface. So it wouldn't matter much.

    A question for Antec Nine Hundred owners

    Ì noticed that when I was building a pc for a friend. Does it even have a power LED? You can see that your pc is turned on by the ten million LED fans in there anyways =I

    Reverse ATX & Heat Pipe Technology Conundrum

    Because heatpipes are a closed enviroment the fluid/gas inside will travel according to pressure, not gravity. If one place is hotter than the other, the fluid/gas will go to the coolest place to cool down. That way it transfers heat. Because there is such a little amount of fluid inside, and...

    ASUS P5K Premium wont POST - RUNNING OUT OF IDEAS HERE!!!

    Have you tried memtest and another PSU like in that other thread you linked? EDIT: Also tried it with only the cpu, memory and videocard attatched? And one P4 4pin plug? There's a difference between the two 4 pin cpu plugs AFAIK, are they in the correct holes? EDIT2: You should try to...

    Silverstone TJ09/TJ10

    I have a TJ-09. I am in love with it. I can't think of anything that's negative except the price. And how paranoid I am about scratching it because its so expensive... =/ Anyway, the case is so spacious and well built it will last you insanely long. I don't think I'll ever have to buy a new...

    Recommend me a case...

    You should look into a Silverstone case aswell.. Theyre as good as Lian Li's in build quality, if not better. I have the TJ09 myself, and I'm in love with it. Very spacious, very well finished, looks classy and it has seperate cooling compartiments (air that goes through the psu does not get...

    Does OCing interfere with GPU performance

    I'm not sure if it happens with that motherboard, but check if your PCI-e setting is at 16× and not 1×. I have the P5B deluxe (same chipset) and that happens to me if I do not bump the NB voltage enough.

    E4300 & DDR800

    Most likely (not guaranteed ofc) your cpu will be able to reach 3.2 (So essentially 401 memory speed × 8) if it can reach 3.0. So I would recommend DDR800, since higher frequency gives a good boost in overall memory bandwith with Intel systems. And you will have the headroom for overclocking...

    C2D E6400 Running hot after install

    They are a little higher than normal I guess, but nothig too drastic. The AS5 should still be settling in yes and it will drop a few C's. Is your ambient temp high?

    What about a refrigerator for a case

    Condensation shouldn't do much harm to a bunch of radiators and hoses right? Anyway yeah, it's not really a viable cooling option, heh.

    What about a refrigerator for a case

    Components can get too cold. Those maniacs with liquid nitrogen cooling can't boot at a certain amount of minus degrees. But that's like minus 120C. What would be cool for a fridge, to put external watercooling radiators in them, and not the computer components themselves.. that would work well...

    e6600, p5b dlx, ddr2-800 OCing question.

    I have had this aswell .. Same specs bar the memory (G. Skill PK series). I had my system overclocked at 400 FSB times something (can't remember). Did memtest, wanted to exit memtest and the system did not boot. Had to use the jumper to get it running. No idea what caused this.

    My ram is not performing the way i think it should

    The stickers on the DIMM's even say 1.9-2.0 volts so I guess that's right. Although now that you mention it I've seen them on the G. Skill site with 2.0 tp 2.1 indeed. And on another G. Skill site (euro and US or whatever) they gave 1.9 and 2.0 .. Meh ..I'll just try some higher voltages when I...

    My ram is not performing the way i think it should

    I actually have no clue what kind of voltage is on the memory when set to auto in BIOS. I set it to 1.9, it's rated 1.9-2.0 so bleh .. that should be ok. What bothered me is that it was giving errors when running at rated speeds =I

    My ram is not performing the way i think it should

    Mind if I take over then? =) I had sort of an odd issue today with my G. Skill memory. It was also 2 x 1Gb, PK series. I was overclocking my cpu (E6600, and p5b deluxe motherboard) to 400 x 8 = 3.2 GHz. Ofc setting the memory to ddr800... which is it's rated speed. But memtest gave me lots of...
