yeah but the cooler kits for PC's are designed from the heaters in a car, plus the best sorts of coolers you can get for a pc are these!! and most places charge £80+ for one!!

make sure you keep an eye on the temperatures, especially if using a home made water cooling system. Looks like its gonna be a really good system, wanna help me find a cure for cancer with it?

the 3200xp is costing me £60 and is already unlocked, also comes with a 2yr warranty (if not overclocked!)

Nah gona do something custom, well, radiator anyways, and the vapochill systems are tooooo expensive

Just had a check see how the 120mm fan lines up against the matrix... I think 8 x 80mm fans is in order with a custom shroud!!! (4 fans either side!!), plus a bit of butchery to the case when I get it to fit the core & the fans



Will have a look in getting some other memory then if TM is a bit dodgy lately! I was choosing them as all the ram I had in the past was from them & had no problems so far!

2 120mm fans should be more than enough, surely?
