Alright don't worry if its to long its better for me so thanks I understood everything on the guides but i don't understand what you mean by getting distilled water. Which one do i get distilled or the coolant? isn't it the coolant? And i need to try this all out when i have all the components.and also so far im only going to cool the cpu i dnt have money for the gpu.

Both. The distilled water is the main part. The coolant is added in to help prevent algae build up etc and helps to keep the tubes nice and clean. So you pour in the water first and keep doing so until the water level stays the same in the tank. Then pour in some coolant. I've never followed a set guide on how much to pour in, I more stick to how concentrated the colour is. If it's weak, I add more until it looks greener.

Cooling only the CPU will make things a lot easier for you as well. Means you will have a simple water loop so it won't be difficult to work out

Looks alright but I imagine it's not as easy to spot leaks with. UV reactant coolant and a UV light handy is good for that.

I myself am a water noob, I recently picked the Swiftech 220 ultima kit and I must say, this is a nice setup. My cpu maxes out at 51 deg @ 4.0 ghz. It was very easy to install and get setup. For a price of around $250, this might be a good route for you to go as well.

God what a link :

As I said install was a snap, couple of hours it was up and running, leak test for a couple more and whala

The colored dyes and additives decrease performance though.

alright so i put the water in frist and then the UV coolant. i got that. but i why is it that i have to turn the psu on and off i dont get that part.

You turn the power on so that the pump will push the water through the tubes. The water level will decrease rapidly at that point so you have to turn the power off before the water level goes down so far that the pump is sucking air. Pumps aren't designed to suck air.

I doubt it would be by much. For a beginner it's probably better to go with the UV coolant so the leak checking process is easier. For people with experience, UV coolant can probably be supplemented for something else.

Doesn't look too bad. When did you record that temperature though? During a stress test? Or just idle? If idle, not so good.

Sounds pretty good. Looks like an alright kit. The tube sizes are decent so you'll get good flow through those.

I usually idle at 3-35 degrees and under load I reach 50 degrees. Thats with my overclock from 1.8gHz to 2.7gHz @ 1.5V.
