Im planning to do my second loop (first build of my own), for the cpu I use some thermaltake el-crap-o (bigwater 735)... that was almost 2 years ago since I bought it, I will upgrade with something good this year but first I want to WC my video card and my chipset (using the block that it has the Maximus Formula SE).
System:
asus maximus formula SE
Q6600
4gigs of ram
MSI 8800 ultra
coolermaster stacker
So I bought
MCP 355 pump
MCW60-R vga block
D-tek uni-sink for vrams of my 8800 ultra
BlackIce Xtreme II Rad
Swifttech Micro-Res.
3/8 tygon tubes
hose clamps and stuff
I know that I will have to do some mod to the uni-sink in order fit the mcw60 but after reading a couple of posts, I know what to do. But I have some other questions:
1) Is this a good setup?
2)what should be the order: res>Pump>Rad>chipsetblock>vgablock>res ?
3)I notice that the vga block brings some artic ceramic, do I use this or can I put some Artic Silver 5 on to my GPU core? what should I use for the vga rams? ceramic,silver or nothing (just the pad attached to the heatsink?
4)I notice someone talking about a Leak test 24hrs after the installation... any post or some advice of how to do that?
Thanks for your replys and sorry my bad english
I'll post some pics after the installation....
