OK, I am highly suggesting plumbing the Fusion block into your loop if you can. Dropped NB temp from 47°C to 34°C under load. NB volts at 1.65. It also helps anything on the heatpipe lose a degree or two, my SB temp is down some too. It didn't kill my flow too bad, dropped it some, but not bad. All I had was a CPU block in the loop anyways. And the MCP655 has a lot of push power.

I don't plan on moving to water cooling just yet but for the sake of keeping my system cool, any suggestions for a very simple water cooling solution for just the NB???

Its at 110 right now, should i put it back to 100???? or take it higher?

Just a question. I know an okay amount about overclocking but is changing the pci-e frequency a must to maintain stability?

From what I have read, most guides say to lock in your bus frequencies at standard to avoid damaging add-on cards but I haven't read anything yet about overclocking the PCI or PCIe bus?? Any links or info would be appreciated.
