Would these be a decent choice of components:
Swiftech MCW50-T GPU Liquid Cooler...59.95
Swiftech RAD676 Radiator...39.95
MCP 300 Pump...47.95

I'm going to just cool my Sapphire 9500 Pro with this setup and I already have a 12v power supply that can supply over 10a.

Is this a logical choice? Like I said, I'm a newb so I appreciate any advice.

Also, I can already run my core at 442MHz with 1.625v using a little cold air. It's logical for me to think I can push it farther with the above setup right? :confused: I'm thinking 500MHz may be possible with a little more voltage and then using cold air to cool the radiator.

Just trying to have some fun with this card. :D

TIA

Well, your set up looks good. I am not sure if you will hit 500 or not. Some people just have bad cards that dont overclock very well. I do know that with a mcw40-t, oppainter pulled another 45 or 50 mhz out of this ti4600 with chilled water and a .15 voltage increase. Good luck. Oh, and don't catch a cold will standing out in the cold with you pc. :D

The MCW50-T is a water cooled TEC...

So it needs +12v to operate.
