I finished my water cooling project over the weekend and I double checked the forum when I was done to see that I made a mistake. I'm using a storm cpu block and reversed the inlet/outlet on the block - how much of performance drop does that cause? I'm idleing around 35 C with my temporary celeron processor. When I recieve my e6600 in the coming week how should I go about switching them? Do I really need to drain my entire system?
Watercooling project parts
CPU Block: Storm
Rad: BIPGT240
Fans: 2x Scythe S-flex
Pump: Laing 5
Also my dad helped me with this project over the weekend and he was popping off the aftermarket heatsinks off my bfg 7900gtx oc that I bought locally (which was supposed to be held on by a 25% mixture of arctic alumina seemed like way more) and he took a chip off with the heatsink. He said he would replace the card for me but if this card is still worth some value I would like to help him out, any suggestions? Is there any more I can do then try to sell it on ebay or here on the forums?
Thanks,
Mike
