Hello, Just been browsing and you all seem like a nice bunch of chaps. Just started in Watercooling and my goal is moderate overclocking and a good quiet solution. Money not usually a problem.

I currently have :-

1 X reserator 2
1 X Dual Thermaltake Rad with 2 fans
All 3/8 Couplings
CPU & NB cooler

Core temp shows 38 Idle & 65 Orthos load, I expected alot lower. Where should I go from here. Will a decent pump help and maybe junk the reserator? Im also looking to add another 8800GTX ans water cool them both.

E6600 @3.55, 4GB OCZ, Asus striker Ex, 8800GTX, Raid 0 Raptor 74's.

Cheers
 
The thermaltake stuff isnt great, and the zalman reserator is made for the quiet cooling of 'stock' parts. There is a great sticky in the watercooling section that tells you about the best parts to buy. I would give that a read and go from there.
