**while prepping for ln2...pretesting and os tweaking is a must :)
Basic cpu loop
-this setup can handle 8threads...stacked 49cfm fans can push enough air thru a 10fpi rad...
1. rad
2. pump
3. reservoir
4. cooling block
5. tubes
6. clamps.
7. fans
total = 240$

nice lookin setup there..... but a 1x120 to cool an i7? is taht at stock volts/frequency?

Well, I learned something tonight. I didnt know a laptop's cpu was acually under the touch pad...:D
(Sorry Honda, I could'nt resist lol)

Its a netbook, that is not really a touch pad. You actually have to tap out in morse code directly onto the CPU to make it function :)

the gtx120 can dissipate 200w with the right fans ...its the best small rad ever :)
i can run my cpu 4ghz with ht on...and this rad won't make a sweat :D

any good pump ie 355s will push water thru them easy....

Stacking beats push/pull?

If OCA stands for over coolers anonymous
Well HC got it down as far as inverse of heat output to raddage goes lol

not yet...proven..but i'm guessing the stack will kill some airflow loss between the fans and the fan case...
i have a setup that will prove that..i have two airflow meters that im still planning on using..

wait till you see my ln2 cooling setup :D it will be alittle non-sense but it looks nice...LOL remind me when i come back from the oc summit..hahahah
