Core voltage is 1.336 V. The OC is a rather hasty job, I haven't put much time into it. Stable enough for me - one or two BSODs per week, I can live with that until I have the time to do a more thorough job. Noise level is of course highly subjective. I don't have much to compare against here, but I...

Thanks. :) I'll start with manual fan controller anyway, and if I should feel the need for something more complex, I'll keep it in mind. :)

Why would I want to use water temps instead of component temps? After all, it's the components I want to cool in the end...

Thanks! I'm not in the UK (I'm i Norway), though I did get the P120.4. I really don't want automatic fan control. After the noise itself of today's GPUs, the most annoying aspect is that it's never stable, it constantly spins up and down and changes pitch. I'd rather turn the fans up and down myself...

I'll be sure to make notes of how I experience it. :) Thanks so much for the help!

Sure. :) What temps are interesting? CPU/GPU temps, air in, air out, ambient temp in room?

If you think you can fit the bay res in the bottom then sure, go for it, but try and soft mount it somehow. My preferred "mounting" (I use the term loosely) method is to hang the pump by the tubes. Elastic works too, just like with HDD's. I'll find something soft, sure. :) If cost is an issue... ar...

Thanks! Well, it's a double res with pump mounts, and it fits at the bottom of the 800D. Not many other pump/res combos does that. I originally bought this top/res , and I have trouble fitting even that in my case (I would have to place it on the bottom fan). Of course, I could do a res separately f...

I've heard they're not very noisy. Will I hear them over the silent whooshing of my 7 rad fans? Hmm... My case is 800D, and I'm thinking I could remove the lower HDD cage and place the res there instead, placing it on some sort of anti vibration thing. That would also make it possible to drain the l...

Okay, I've received some feedback on other forums now, and with everything taken into consideration, this is what I think I'll go for: Dual loops with XSPC Dual DDC Dual Bay Reservoir and two Laing DDC 18w Pump / Swiftech MCP355 (already have one) CPU+MB loop: Feser Xchanger 360 (already have) with ...

I'm thinking Black Ice SR-1 360 might be good as a second rad. Comments?

EDIT: Can't you fit a slim rad in the top and a normal size rad in the bottom section of an 800D?
Not sure what you mean by "bottom", but not the way I see it.

Thanks! I'm dragged towards the double loop solution. I found a bracket for mounting rads at the back of the case, so perhaps I'll go with another 360 rad there.

Thanks! Why not the MB in the GPU loop? Seeing as the GPUs are not being overclocked... Also, could I make do with everything on a single 360 rad if I tried that?

360 rad enough to cool OCed i7 920, 2 GTX 480s and MB?

I am currently building my first "real" watercooled rig, so I'm terribly sorry if these questions seem stupid to more experienced users. I have almost everything at hand now - just waiting for my three radiator fans to arrive. This is my system (case and watercooled parts): Corsair 800D Core i7 920 ...
