once i hit 2.7 i cant run a stable system like ill have it oced and it will boot up but 5 mins later i will see a blue error screen and the highest ive gotten to go with the cooling i have now is 2640.XX. im using the stock heatsink,1x 120mm fan in the front of the case, 1x 90mm in the top, 1x 90mm in the topback of the case, 1x 120mm panaflo in the rear back mid section of the case. ive tryed to run the multiplyer lower and raise the fsb, ive tryed to raise the multiplyer and lower the fsb ect i just cant get a stable machine past 2640.XX, i have not tryed to mess with the ram. i have corsair XMS low latency platinum ram 2x 512.

Koolance has a prebuilt system called the Exos 2 and Dangerden has all kinds of watercooling components.

:) yes ive saw i put a list togeather of what im thinking of getting.


found water cooling parts and what id like to use.


first the cpu block: is a dangerden TDX copper or (silver if the price drops)
its for athlon 64 sockets: 754,939, and 940
---

Now for the Reservoir: looking at the TANK-O-MATIC

now for the Radiator: for the radiator i have my mind set on the BLACK ICE EXTREME III at 1/2 inch but might choose 3/8 instead


Now for the PUMP: not sure but i hear the dangerden d5 is a good and powerful one


Now for the HOSE: probally TYGON 1/2 inch or 3/8 (read on forum tygon is the best and most flexible,nicest tubing)

Now for the clamps: probally stainless steel metal ones or maybe plastic (doesnt matter but i prefer the metal ones)


Now for the chipset block: not nessasarry but would be nice currently looking at the dangerden TDX chipset block for the ASUS a8n-sli deluxe

Now for the GPU block: dunno yet but want 2 have a awsome 1

Now for the radiator im choosing to use 3 120/120/38 panaflo fans yes i know they are pretty loud does do a hell of a job.

i wouldn't get a chipset fan because it reduces your flow

What do you mean yuanji? He is considering a chipset block, not a fan.
