Good to hear things are moving foward for you Boli.
Sad to hear about the mobo. Watch out its easy to break something on the mobo when putting everything together.
You system sounds a little cramped. Try to run wires together then branch them off when need to devices. Use right side.

Yes you have to prime the water pump to get it to work.

Now you said your scared to open Photoshop? Why I thought your system is dead. If not then you really have some problem if its just not stable.

MAKE SURE YOU MOUNT THE WATERBLOCK RIGHT..
Dont over tighten also.

Well hope to see pics soon.

Scared to open photoshop because I am using old bits anf bobs to get a resemblance of a computer running whihc I only have 128MB of ram for. If I open it, it may well cease up the system for a good ten minuties. i.e. hihg probabiliy of system crash. (one reasn ehen I do buy RAM for a sytem now it is allways over 512MB) the realibility gained is worth a lot more than the chip initially.

The wires are grouped together wrapped round each other but it is easy enough to miss on (as I did)

Still working on things

Working again... I had to buy a replacement mobo but with my fan control allows me to choose from high noise or V low noise (HD loudest )...

I don't have the best temperatures and my overclocking isn't going to win any prizes but I can be confidant that my chip isn't going to burn out young.

As I use an ABIT KD7 which I am told read temperatures higher than they should I am not bothered at my temperatures being the same as many people without water cooling because before hitting 60oC is no longer a matter of course.

If as I have been told my mobo reads temp about 15oC higher then I am only running 4oC above room temperature which with a dual 80mm fan radiator(s)… which is pretty good.

Main point though my system looks the absolute bollocks and I am searching for a digital camera I can borrow.
