I wouldnÂ’t consider an 80W pelt of the CPU. Since itÂ’s 80W at 15.2v that means the current is 5.26 amps. Since you want to run it off the 12v rail on the power supply the current will still be 5.26 amps but the voltage will now be 12v, which means the pelt will be able to cool 63.1W (assuming...
Just my two cents...
But I would never be that rude to a customer sales rep. Think about it from there view, if someone was that made to you would you want to help them? I sure wouldn't. You would be amazed how far sincerity goes.
I also never use Paypal for this reason. Visa has never given...
Well I check the forums about once a week. I only look at the modding and water cooling threads. I guess this is why you only see me post in these. :D
@Nos, Here is a good deal:

The Chenming is a good H2O case also, but it needs a decent amount of modding...
Most of it looks good to me. That Danger Den combo is a nice deal. I would get a little more tubing, maybe 8 feet (if you cut tubing like me maybe a little more... HAHA!), it's better to be safe then sorry.
As for the reservoir, get what ever you like. The only recomendation is avoid aluminum...
Sounds good then. I just didn't want you to get the Xtreme and slap a couple of 50CFM fans on it.
Here is a pic of the stacker with the shroud:

You can get the mounting shroud here...
The original stacker is a sweet case. Plenty of room and Danger Den makes a shroud so you can mount a black iceII on the bottom. It's one of the most H2O friendly cases out there.
Hey just to clarify a few things...
There is nothing wrong with black ice rads or Thermochill for that matter. Heatercores used to be ther prefered radiator mainly because of a price performance issue. A few years ago a black ice ProII was around $90 and a Bonneville heatercore was $22...
It can't be to tight. As pressure increases the thermal resistance decreases. The thermal paste is only there to fill in the pits of the metal on the chip and heatsink, it does not increase cooling. You want to use as little as possible. I dab some in the middle then spread out with a razor...
Thermaltake measures the dB's from further away then most manufactuers making their fans look quiter then they really are.
Pretty much a fan is a fan. If you want a long lasting fan go with a ball bearing and if you want a cheap fan then go with the sleeve bearing. Pick a color and cfm and...
None will be accurate, the problem lies within the thermistor not the software. With **** poor accuracy of onbaord temps how will you be able to the software to be accurate?
