Question Water Cooling
Hi everyone,

I built my own pc this holiday season and it's running nice and cool with the 3 fans in it. However, safe and steady is never fun so i want to overclock this beast. I know it probably could work on air but i really want to put in a water cooling system to look cool and help with the temps genereated from oc'ing. I have no prior watercooling experience but have been reasearching it a bit. I'm wondering if I have all of the parts to make a working watercooling system for just my CPU and VGA. Also, do i need spliters and such so the VGA doesnt heat the water up before it reaches the CPU?

Here are the parts....

radiator http://www.crazypc.com/products/93110.html

pump http://www.crazypc.com/products/mcp355-93345.html

resevourhttp://www.crazypc.com/products/9331.html

....Plus distilled plain water (or colored green), respective waterblocks for my AM2 CPU and nVidia card, and thermal paste.

Thanks in advance!

For less than the price of the parts you listed, you can buy a kit from thermaltake that comes with everything including the cpu water block [which you have not listed] They also make a kit for gpus as well. With the gpu kit and the warter cooling kit, it is about the same as the parts you listed.

Is there any way for a single kit that's not outrageously expensive to cool both the GPU and CPU?
