Cooling - Gonna go with some water cooling. Still reading on exactly what I should get for this and how I'm going to go about doing it. Which is why I'm here now...


So thats what I'm looking to work with, its no small budget so I'm trying to set up the best parts for watercooling (I mean, why not just go all out?). The only problem is I'm new to this sort of thing, I'm looking to see what parts I need...

Get different memory. The AMD64 really works better with TCCD memory, and I don't think the OCZ Gold VX uses TCCD chips. I made the mistake of not getting TCCD ram. Don't get me wrong, it'll probably work great, but overclocking will be limited.

I'm going to use two power supplies in my UFO (should be delivered sometime next week). One will supply the motherboard and video card, and the other will power everything else in the case.

I'm watercooling now, but I'm going to split the GPU into it's own loop since I'll have the room for a 2nd rad and pump (BIX and D4).
