Alright

Im going watercooling on my AMD setup.

CPU -Swifttech MCW5000-A
GFX - Swiftech MCW50
NB - Danger Den Z-Chip
Pump - Johnson Pump
Radiator - Dtek ProCore

Now. Few questions. Only reason Im going watercooling is to squeeze a few more mhz and the quietness. Now i heard that if case temp goes higher than cpu temp condensation may occur? I dont understnad that. Also will airflow really mess up temps bad? Im going to 20cfm fans, 3 intakes 2 exhaust.

I also heard that I may not get better temps at idle? I idle at 36c and case temp also a 36c with Sk-7 + 39cfm fan. But will my idle temps be lower with WC?

sorry for my n00bness, please bare with me.

Johnson pump, is it 3/8 OD or ID? And whats the heat deal with it? Also should I Y split it like CPU and NB on one end and VPU on other?

Also I dont know what to do as far as fill/bleed goes, resovoir? T fitting? Fill bleed system? What would be BEST, and EASIEST?

Thanks, and sorry again for my n00bness.
