I'm gonna set up a watercooling system this summer in my comp. I have a few questions about what i should do...

1. If i want to cool the northbridge and the CPU, in what order should i set up the system, pump -> rad -> cpu blah blah

2. What mixture of water/additive should you use, and what additive is best?

3. In order to cool the northbridge and the cpu, (thinking about the new danger den block) what kinda pump should i get? should the hydor l30 be enought? or since im cooling two components, would the new ehiem with it's 600gph work better?

Thanks for the help!

welcom to the world of watercooling. a l30 should be fine, although I wouldn't bother with the nb unless your really pushing the limits of the chipset. (over 230fsb on a athlon for example) other wise your hurting perfomance more than your helping.

arange the system so that it will be most efficent you may gain a degree by placing the cpu right after the rad but if your loop is much more complicated because of this it could negate any performance boost.
