the part about watercooling was very helpful. but i'm a little worried. i just ordered the innovatek water cooling kit recommended by
http://www.overclockers.com/articles545/ and its my first journey into watercooling. you say i need the res to be the highest point, but on the kit the res connects directly to the pump. do i need figure out a way to mount the whole assembly in the top of the case? i understand i could add another res/bleed point, but i don't really consider that an option since i already payed $225 for this kit and it comes with a real nice res as it is.
also, about the water, antifreeze, and water wetter. you say theres no reason to put antifreeze in, and you recommend water wetter. but in one of your older articles you recommended purple ice. and in the review of the kit at overclockers.com he says "Note that any design using dissimilar metals requires that the cooling fluid contain anti-corrosives; anti-freeze is a good additive - a solution of water with perhaps 10-15% antifreeze is fine."
should i use water wetter or purple ice, and should i combine it with a little antifreeze or not?
