The DIY Kit im refering to is the Thermaltake Bigwater 760i
http://www.thermaltake.com.au/Products/LiquidCoolingSystem/CL-W0121/Bigwater760i.aspx
1x Radiator w/ 12cm Fan
1x Pump @ 500ltr/hr
1x CPU Water Block
Since I had the kit about a week back, and tried doing some OCing of my Q6600. I found my core temps to be a little high with me settings, and noticed the water tubes to be a little hot on both in&out.
Q6600 G0 @ 9x333FSB 3.0Ghz
Core Idle @38C Load @60C
Vcore @ 1.45v
So I thought it might be a good idea getting another radiator to cool the water?
So I came up with the idea of getting another 1 of Bigwater 760i kits. So this time round I'll have 2 pumps and 2 radiators. Would that be a good idea? Or just wasting my money and it wouldn't change nothing?
Water System Loop im thinking is:
CPU > Radiator 1 > Pump 1 > Radiator 2 > Pump 2 > CPU
yes I know I could've got a radiator by itself. Since budget isnt a problem for me, and im too lazy and anxious to wait 7days delivery for a Radiator, and the DIY kit was available on-the-spot. I just went for it, might be able to have it upgraded with NB and VGA Blocks down the road. But thats another story and I want to concentrate on the CPU 1st.
Any suggestions or flaming cos im an idiot? Seriously?
Cheers
