Questions galore...1st timer
So I have decided to take the plunge into WCing a new box I am building. My true goal is overclocking, with a side benefit of a quieter system. I have a good idea about parts, but I still have some questions...
- Is there a definitive consensus about flow through the system? For example, I plan to use Pump -> Blocks -> Radiator -> Reservoir -> Pump. Is there a "better way"? Is there a "totally idiotic" way?
- If I am using a 3 barbed CPU block and my system is 1/2" ID throughout, what are the problems with using 1 output to a Swiftech Chipset block & one output to a Swiftech GPU block (assuming both blocks are using 1/2" OD to 1/2" ID adapters)?
(This question should really be, "Which Chipset & GPU blocks should I use?"
- Tygon or Clearflex? I've read tons of different opinions, but there has to be some really strong arguments for the more expensive Tygon or nobody would buy it. What are the real facts?
- Is there some kind of FAQ sticky, or a solid noob Q&A thread? There is so much good stuff here that I really wish was in a sort of "Intro to WC" thread.
Thank you in advance,
Brandon
