I have been reading this thread for the content of adding a GPU pelt to the system and yet having only regular water cooling for the CPU.

I am planning on attaching an 85W Pelt to my Radeon 9700Pro and going to town but became worried when nOv1c3 mentioned that it might seriously hinder the CPU temp.

Also the talk about insulating the RAM chips and letting the pelt cool them as well is very interesting. Did cross my mind but figured that fiberglass is not a very good thermal medium.

Well, what I can do is test both situations and see what the results are. I can attach the pelt to my radeon w/o any RAM sinks and see if the RAM is cooled effectively AND see how much higher my CPU temps go on my new Tbred "B" @ 2.0+ Ghz.

Anyone else have more suggestions that I can try?
