I've finally decided to go with water cooling

[Judaeus Apella]

If you have time, use it to dig in the forums to gain knowledge.

Like I said, I have trouble learning that way. Throwing reading material or a book at me is the worst thing you can do. I have ADD. It really messes up my ability to "dig in", like you said. When I take any kind of classes, I usually need a tutor to help me with that. Plus I'm getting off of lexapro right now because of serious acid reflux side effects, and it has a month recovery time for the withdrawal effects. Its making me really loopy which further kills any chance of me being able to "dig in" and study anything.

software : speedfan for example.

How does that work exactly? How does the software interact with the pump? A USB connection?

There is temperature inertia in a waterloop, cpu and gpu have thermal protection.

You mean when they shut down if they get too hot? Isn't it sometimes too late by then?

1/2 internal diameter is overkill
3/4 is good and a lot easier to use

3/4 is larger than 1/2.... so doesn't that make it more of an overkill?

The ps06 case is too small for watercooling.

Are you sure? It seems awfully roomy to me. Have you worked with them before?

It will be difficult to have recommandation if your don't specify the context :
- budget
- maximum size of case
- level of noise desired

I don't really know what my budget is, cause I'm slowly gathering money as I go along. I posted lots of information about the case, click on the links. I don't know what the level of noise desired is because I've never used a pump and I have no idea what to compare it to. Its not like you're here to say that the neighbor mowing his lawn two houses down with my windows closed is about the right noise level for ______. I don't know how to answer that question.

if it were me for a cpu+gpu with a little overclocking, in a very quiet setup i would use :
- 4 x 120 elements or more, alphacool for example
- a d5 pump or mcp35x, you can set those pump speed and noise
- quiet fans like : noiseblocker m-12s2 or be quiet silent wing 2 with a fan controller

Elements? And I'm going with Deltas.
