    Thoughts/Evidence on H20 Cooling Performance Increase with TWO Pumps

    From my understanding of flow versus head pressure, a second pump really benefits a larger loop with more restriction in the loop (ie. a lot of 90° fittings and restrictive blocks). I could be wrong here, but the D5 has great flow and good head pressure while the DDC has the good flow and more...

    Thanks for the catch. I have updated the link in the opening post.

    My first attempt @ a custom case

    I have decided it is time for me to make a custom case for myself. I wanted to get some feedback from you all on my design and layout of WC parts. I just recently upgraded my Core2 system to an i7 setup and for now am running everything in a lian-li v1000 plus II case with a single 120 loop for...

    Modern Warfare 2: What do you use?

    When it comes to Afghan and Estate, I always play as sniper. That is when I play Headquaters.

    Finding a 5850/5870/5970 - not easy!

    Some of the cards on the egg are starting to come back down. Just today the Asus 5870 has made it's way back down to $409 and was in stock.

    New Gaming PC for xmas but note sure which route to take

    Chaos is pretty dead on. It should be around the performance of the 5970. What motherboard are you looking to switch to?

    Make a mad dash for the store!

    Go for them. I would suggest seeing if you can find the sapphire Vapor-x model or at least a non-reference cooler 5770. Better temps and it won't sound like a leaf blower.

    I second this statement. Go for the 5850 if you can find it. If not, a pair of 5770s will do you good.

    New PC advise i7 860 or i7 920

    I couldn't agree more. The fact that there was such a small price difference allowed me to go for more of the want versus the need. As for the future upgrade, that is at least 3 years down the road, and I will probably go for a whole new platform.:ohwell: But, the biggest performance...

    New PC advise i7 860 or i7 920

    This seems to be a hot topic as of late. I myself just went through the same decision process. I debated the x58 + 920 vs. the p55 + 860 for over a month. I choose the x58 + 920 for the fact that I plan to do Crossfire/SLI and may opt for i9 "gulftown" as an upgrade. In all of my configurations...
