Ok, I try and answer best I can. First Sweeper. I just have the CPU and GPU in the loop. If I had it to do over again, I would go with an Arctic Cooling Silencer for the graphics card. I found that the liquid is just warm enough after it leaves the CPU to really do the good job on the Videocard. It could be my setup, but I spec'ed things to get the best performance, and still come up short on cooling the graphics. No, I don't have the HDD blocks. I ran out of $ as it was with the Koolance setup as is.
Northy, your question. The Exos does a fantastic job of cooling the CPU. I was able to run this 2.8c at 3.7 and loop 3DMark. Anything over that tho, I found problems. My thoughts, the mosfets got too hot. Always had a heatsink fan running before, thus air moving over the mosfets. If I got into OC'ing again, I'd mount a 80mm fan in the top corner of the case, and get the air moving again. Everything booted and ran, just not stable. The other thing I didn't try was raising the vcore over 1.7v. That could also have been the problem, and not the cooling at all.
Anyway, this Koolance has been good to me. With the mid-tower case I have, there was no room for anything else, plus it was a foolproof system to setup. I really can recommend this type liquid cooling.

 You are not cool because you have 5,000 more posts than someone else on the forum. You are not your post count, and you never will. Your d**k will never be as big as your post count. Get the hell over it. F**k you and your post count  |

My interior is slightly more more interesting (with an emphasis on slightly). NOTE: the interior pics were taken with the computer on and all fans running full tilt, yet it looks like they are stopped. Quite low automatic exposure on my digicam there. |

Which is? Water cooling the GPU really should have little t no effect on the CPU, if you have a decent setup. A decent rad will get rid of the heat fine. The Maze 4 can cool x800's down to under 35C load on a decent setup, down from 80C on air. Depending on your CPU/GPU you can notice bigger/smaller clocks. iam not expecting much from my CPU, but iam looking forward to my GPU clocks. If you are going water cooling and you want nice clocks, custom is the way to go usually, kits are nice, but not really for decent clocks, hardly better than say a XP-120 or high end air. |

I think thats "shutter speed" isnt it? low exposure is only good to capture more light in low light conditions.... I dunno I'm no expert, I'm just wondering... (anyway I'll take pics and post later in here) |

Probably is, might have mistranslated in my own head. But I was still right! The exposure is low because the case was pretty well lit and I used the flash. I think thats "shutter speed" isnt it? low exposure is only good to capture more light in low light conditions.... I dunno I'm no expert, I'm just wondering...
