Losing Phenoms Water Cooling Virginity Project Log

As many of you may know if you have check my What made you go Water Cooling? thread that I am going to make the switch to water cooling. I have chosen to Water cool just my GTX680 for now, as my 2500k doesn't break 50c in games at 4.5GHZ. My GTX680 at 1275mhz core hits 68 and even if it is a Evga Signature 2 with the dual fan cooler it gets a bit loud then I would like. And Id like the temps a bit lower to push it even further without it throttling from Nvidia's lame ass dynamic clocks.

So lets get too it. Below is my list of water cooling parts for this project.




I have recieved the pump already. Thanks to bmaverick for the awesome pricing of a DDC-1T pump.

And now for the loop plan. Sorry if some of the writing and drawing is hard to see. Just look closely





Stay tuned. Rest of the parts will be ordered either before the 25th or on the 25th. Thanks for checking it out. Im pretty stoked. Never done water before. Always wanted too, but funds were never available.
