potential rig:
cpu: e6700
video: 2x evga 8800gtx
hdd: 2x raptor 10k 150gb
mobo: eVGA 122-CK-NF68-T1
ram: 4 sticks unknown
pump: mcp655(possibly 2)
DVD-rw/CD+-RW: unknown(LG or Lite-On)
zalman zm-mfc2 temp sensor/fan controller(what fans?)
at least 700w psu
cooling
dd5/mcp655 pump
d-tek fuzion cpu block
2x d-tek fuzions or swiftech mcw60s
northbridge cooler?
all moderately clocked
i want to do a bong cooler/resivoir placed higher than the processor, feed down into the processor, down to the northbridge, down to vid1, down to vid2, down to the pump. so it's gravity assisted all the way down to the pump, which could pump back up to the top of the bong.
Questions:
1)is bong cooling really worth it?
2) Is cooling the northbridge(beyond the heatpipe on the nf68 mobo) really going to help? maybe just a fan on the heatsink?
3) is a full cover block going to make a big difference? because with ramsinks, the ram won't get too hot, and the mosfets are designed to handle heat. right?
4)would putting the pump at the end of the loop be any worse than putting it at the beginning? OR...
5)...would i need one pump from the resivoir to the bong, and another from the bong to the cpu?
