Moderno, u shud get a spare PSU n turn on the WC without booting the PC mah. Then let the WC run for few hours with tissue paper put at all the joints to look for leaks. If everything's good then only boot up the PC.

[/quote] currently using stock heatsink  or i might temporarily using my aquagate mini from my p4 rig.. i sold the asetek bcoz need some money so i dont think i'll be using any wc in 2-3 months .. that asetek was so far the best + easiest wc i ever had.

Ya, that's y u shud install everything inside the PC n test inside but dont boot up. So if it leaks there's no damage coz ure PC got no power. Thank god it was oni a 6200. if it was a hi end card..............

Well, I've never tried any other VGA block so I can't compare. I'm really happy with the results though. For a cheap product that's only 100+ bux it works a charm. My 68GT used to peak at about 90+C. On hot days can reach 95C. With the Aquarius II the peak temps r only at max 55C on hot days. I can only say I'm really happy with the 40C drop.

Any GPU wb would do good depending on the price. You can try The DD Maze 4 GPU but its costs more a bit than others.

That's an impressive "Budget" watercooling set.  , 6600 w/block depends on yer budget oso, wanna good want like uzairi said get the DD Maze 4, wanna a cheap one get the aquarius one. uzairi@ good to see you being active again in watercooling department

all thanks to ur advice amok... the maze4 looks good but mahal la... mebbe i'll go for the aquarius, but from a review i read it said that the the water channel in the WB is only abt 5mm deep and since i'm using 1/2" tubing it might kill the flow rate.. what do u guys think? edit: can my nirox handle a TDX and a GPU block?
