time for me to learn how to watercool

[roYal]

K guys, it's about time i learn watercooling.
Where can i get some articles or something that'll explain what makes up a watercooling system, what parts differentiate from others, how to setup watercooling, etc...

Sorry for me not being descriptive. I know about the mainpage, i've been to overclockers quite a bit. I was meaning more on the basis of specific articles that someone thinks i should read 1st, something like that.

I'm currently in the process of constructing my first rig so take my advice as you will. I'm sure we've done the same amount of reading and learning about the watercooling preparation and tweaking. From what i've learned about most things in life theres only a finite amount of reading one can do about a topic to reach the peak. You've got to jump in and get your hands dirty to complete the process.

As the famous saying goes "Measure twice, cut once". Think out the entire process of your WC rig and write it down, make up drawings outlining the flow, dimensions, and locations of parts. Verify that your case will accomodate your plans and then dive in. Then once you've got everything sorted, all the tubing fitted and measured, hook the entire system up. Pump, blocks, rad, res... and let it run for a day or two without any vital pieces inside the computer.

Use common sense, if you get an eerie feeling about something not seeming correct, triple check it till youre satisfied and simulate the conditions causing your trepidation in a situation that would cause the least amount of damage to your expensive equipment.

Finally, dont be afraid to ask questions here. Do a search with some keywords on the question first but we've all had the same questions at one time or another so there's never a "stupid" question.
