I've been running my AMD Phenom II 965 BE at 4.1 Ghz stable since early February. It does get really hot during Prime95 and I've been wanting to play around with Water Cooling my rig for a few months. The current plan is to purchase the XSPC Raystorm block, XSPC EX360 radiator, and the XSPC reservoir/pump combo at Jab-tech and just cool my cpu since I currently have an MSI 550gsx ti Fermi and can't seem to find any blocks to put that on the loop also. I'm currently using a Thermaltake MK-1 Chaser case which I purchased because I could mount a 240mm radiator with no issues. I have a few questions:
1. If I'm only cooling my processor do I really need a 360mm radiator or could I use a 240mm and add a 120 when the time comes to cool other components? The 360 will fit in my case but it's not going to look pretty and it's going to be a tight fit.
2. Have you guys ever heard of anyone water cooling a 550gsx and if so did they just use a universal block?
Would really love some input on these since I'm having a hard time deciding what to do with my loop.
