OK, but that's all. I then moved to a CHEAP - NO COST water cooling system which I pulled out from a few things in the scrap heap (including car parts).. and to be honest I think it performs better than some of the kits you can buy.. and when I started I knew nothing about cooling computers.. take a look: http://www.xiredirect2.com/HostFile/Duc/computer/ P.S.. i'm an idiot Awards
