Hey folks, been lurking for a while, and I've picked up a good deal of info, but was hoping I could pick your brains on something.
I'm putting together my first WC system, ordering a few parts a month...here's the shopping list that I've nailed down so far:
MM U2-UFO Case
PA120.3 Rad (If I can ever get one...4 weeks on back order so far)
MCP-655 pump
D-Tek Fuzion CPU block
Intel Q6600
Abit IP35 Pro mobo
Corsair HX620 PSU
eVga 8800GTS GPU (Haven't decided on specific model yet)
DD full coverage GPU waterblock
And I guess that's the relevant stuff. I'm looking to do a moderate overclock, but silence is my big priority,
Anyway, the big question is this: What, if anything, should I do for cooling for the mobo? I'm not averse to throwing a chipset block on the NB and/or SB, but would the loop be sufficient? Looking at pics of the mobo, there appears to be three heatsinks connected by pipes...if I'm pulling off two of them for waterblocks, where does that leave me with the third?
Greatly appreciate any input.
