Overheating

The BigWater should work fine if the CPU is the only block in the loop.

Liquid cooling installed and temperature now stabalises 43 degrees after a good hour at constant 100% CPU usage.

And games don't crash anymore so I'm quite happy.

That's quite an improvement.
Congratulations.

Pics?

Thanks.

Here's a couple of pics. And please excuse the wiring in my machine, it's an utter disgrace.

And I've just noticed the amount of dust on top of the video card as well.

Yes, it is. We assume that you have tidied it up by now.

How did you install the waterloop without seeing the dust? Tsk, tsk.

Big points for initiative, but Gryffindor loses 20 points for egregious housekeeping violations
