Hey all, it's been a while. I currently have my q9550 OC'd to 3.8ghz air cooled but I am running into a problem. I can run both prime95 and OCCT fine with no overheating on the CPU when it is just the CPU and RAM. The issue arrises when I try to run these tests at the same time as a graphics test like Furmark. Because this simulates gaming in the most strenuous way possible, it is a good indication for me that I have an overall system overheating problem.
During these tests my GTX 275 reaches 90+ C and the CPU reaches it's rated maximum. I am trying to fix this by switching to water cooling for at least the GPU, the cause of the problem, but both if I can.
So, what I want to know is are there any GPU only water cooling solutions prebuilt, or mostly built? Or do I have to build it all from scratch?
I would also like to keep my options open in regards to CPU cooling, but I haven't been able to find many kits that would let me do this.
Also, my budget is very small.
Thanks in advance,
GA
