The girlfriend is buying me one tomorrow and a pair of UV cathodes
Gonna do some temp comparisons against the 9700.

Just found out the store only has 5 fans in so I shall have to wait for the other 4 to come into stock before building.

Ok so got another update

The M3 x 40 bolts arrived and so did the nuts, the CPU waterblock and UV cathodes are also here.

Will try and get pictures tonight, Im also gonna get some comparisons between my current air cooling system temps, the 38mm fans replacing the current ones and then the watercooled temps.

Lookin' good tht-kid I can't wait to see some pics

If your GF didn't already get you a CPU WB I'd kinda hint she get you a Heatkiller. From what I've read the Heatkiller is the best performing WB ATM. Of course I think any top flight WB would be OK (what we's talkin' a 1/2 degree or so )

Good luck

DCing for the CURE

Well i got the thermalright xmb1 (I think), on a few reviews it was between 1-0.5'c of a EK Supreme so it will be good, im mainly upgrading because of noise not high temps.
