haha i aknowledge that i'm going overboard, but i tend to do that
i probably as in 99.9% won't even do any of the ideas that i have presented in this thread, its just some idea that i throwed into the mix
anyway what probably will happen is i will setup the watercooling system and make sure its very secure and double or triple check everything etc... then turn it on and keep a eye on it for the first few days onice it seems to be working good close up then do a mantaiance check say onice a week to onice a month or so.
i think that is an fairly reasonable setup, along with the always important temperature probe on the coldblock and the waterblock.
probably will buy digidoc5+ and stick those 8 probe on the system, probably 2 on the cpu, flat one on the coldplate, then another one on the waterblock, another one on video card, then a couple lying around to check ambident temperature, maybe one on northbridge chip etc... then if any of the temperature is abnormably high shut down the system and i'll open it up and check out why.
i think that is an pretty reasonable safty check heh, that along with including those good ol worm clamp on the hoses.
*shungs* i guess my first reaction is to setup an increditable complex and uber system that will detect repair every single failure possiable, heh its just a little fault of mine
oh well that's life.
anyway do u guys think my procedudle above is more reasonable
now to address your comment about the pelt idea: well yes they might add some complexity to the system but imho the benefit is well worth it, some users are able to get sub zero temperature with a pelt system. and i'm planning on majorly oc' my cpu. and consdering the temperature outhere is hotter than hell, that subzero temp that some people get, i probably won't but atleast it will be cooler than just watercooling so.... worth it in my option.
