I have a funny story about water cooling. My brother made a homebrew water cooling system for his Athlon Thunderbird which worked great. Well he decided to overclock really high, so he bought a small AC condensor that he could put in his water reservoir to really cool the water. He left it on overnite and it actually froze the water causing the water block to get extremely hot and it actually melted the seam on the block and water destroyed his system. Was quite hilarious.

Was just reading through the thread and just wanted to throw in that my CPU temp shows 17C and system temp reads at 26 C does this mean i've got a messed up sensor as well? =\ just curious..I'm using Asus AI suite, as well as PC probe to read the temps, Bios says the same..around 18 CPU and 26 system..
