110 is pushing the thermal stability envelope of sillicon. in other words the gpu life is going to be severly compromised. I recomend getting a heatpipe gpu cooler. the are very effective and silent. (dont want a noisy pc now do we...)

As for you cpu are you using a thermal blanket of heat conducting paste. ensure that if you are using a blanket or pad that you do not remove your heatsink once it is in place as it moulds to your cpus exact dimensions. if it moves or somethings happens you will have to buy a new one. as for the heat paste. that is far easier. you only need about 1mm between the cpu and heatsink.

Visit buycomputers.co.za for some nice coolers.

they are affordable too.

You definately need to watercool that card. It's not going to last if it's running at 110' constantly. Get yourself a Maze 4 GPU block, they're only about R285.

It's been running at those temps for about a year now. The CPU has gold thermal paste that I got from a friend, very effective, but not as effective as the original pad that was on the heat sink at the beginning. I'll invest in some cooling,

what would it cost me for:
A pump
resevoir
GPU block
CPU block
and tubes

I'm not going to add another block to the chipset, since it's unnessesary.

110' Thats unreal!!

Are u sure the software is reading the temp correctly..

Well, you will have to import the block...me and DAE did it and will be arriving real soon!

In SA look at these options

You see, you can buy a TT big water water cooling setup, which contains all you need except a GPU block. It only costs about R1400, but it's USELESS. Your temps aren't gonna change much. I HATE TT.

I ordered stuff from the US, and it came down to about 350 US dollars, but it's good stuff. If you're gonna buy water cooling, don't go cheap. Otherwise you'll just be wasting your money.

The Arctic Cooling NV Silencer 6 Rev 2 looks cool, but for that price I could just add some more cash and go water cooling?

Yeah, these are good.

Will it be strong enough for heavy overclocking, and does anybody know if it's silent, cuz my system is very noisy, Most of the noise comes from the Titan CPU fan, but I hate noise, I want to go silent

Silence? Heat? It seems that water is the only thing that'll solve your problems.

I concur with dae...

just dont screw up when installing. that could be a very costly mistake...

yeah 110º is super high. Thats amazing

K thanks for the advise guys

LOOOOL

My DAP is up to shyte!

use Flashget

If that does take 3 more mins i'll be impressed

Yey! Now I can share my knowlage!

OK, firstly...do you have a credit card or Paypal account?

Then...the components

Ultimately an Eheim Pump...

But look into this http://www.voyeurmods.com/index.php?act ... revstart=0 , the same as MrBean has, Me and DAE are getting it aswell

Reservoir: I'm gonna use one of these http://www.voyeurmods.com/index.php?act ... revstart=0

GPU Block: Dangerden Maze 4... http://www.voyeurmods.com/index.php?act ... revstart=0

CPU: Me and DAE are getting a Swiftech storm http://www.voyeurmods.com/index.php?act ... revstart=0, the best commercial block available! But look into the DD RBX block http://www.voyeurmods.com/index.php?act ... revstart=0 aswell!

Tubing: Tygon is the best available, but are really expensive...i'm getting this! http://www.voyeurmods.com/index.php?act ... revstart=0

You also forgot a RAD...I have the Coolwave Dual Rad available from www.synapsys.co.za

geeezzzz , thanx dude, can see you like your water cooling....

Right, with all the above it will work out at around R1450 ex. postage and/or VAT??

But I think it's worth it... Thanx dude

This is actually my first setup...

So, what are you taking?

GPU: Maze 4
CPU: RBX?
RES: 120X
RAD: Coolwave
Pump: DD D5

very nice!!

It'll be my first setup too, ok I know we're way off topic, but, where can I get stuff to through in the water to make it UV reactive? Like to make it glow blue or green or whatever whenever a uv light shines on it?

Look for the veeeeery long post!

For the UV, use UV water dye...

WTF????????

ponied. I think thats what it's saying

huh?
