Hello all, after 7 years of building my own rigs I just started overclocking and after seeing the performance gains I'm completely hooked on the subject. I'm first and foremost a hardcore PC gamer who settles for nothing less than maxed out in game settings, except of course CRYSIS because that games settings are insane. My reasons for wanting to switch to WC are to beat the summer heat, achieve my OC'ing goal of "3.20GHz/1420FSB" and kill fan noise.
My system will basically be the same but my Q6600 B3 will be upgraded to a G0 stepping and my RAM replaced with OCZ PC2-6400 ReaperX HPC Enhanced Bandwidth 4GB Dual Channel.
I've been putting together a list of components and would be most grateful to hear any feedback.
I do want to use compression fittings where possible but I need you guys to please educate me on the whole fittings and tubing size business.
Money is not that much of an issue as I will be blowing my tax return, hope its not lame this year.
Thanks in advance guys.
