This is what I have ordered.

I've got a nice Zalman kit ready for my new E6600 ArmA system and E6600's are OC'able to another 1ghz with a stock fan, with a watercooling kit should be able to get to 3.5ghz maybe 4ghz.

Right well i have got it mostly setup now and I am quite simply amazed with the results so far, With the same Overclocks as before, CPU has gone from 55c full load to 44c , then my GPU temps have gone from 81c full load to 60c and them my VRAM has gone from 90c full load to 66c, MOBO has also lost a few c too.

When I say full load for video card stats that is running ATI tool.

Still just missing a couple of fans, I am only using two fans on a rad that fits three and one of them is one of my old thermaltake case fans. (Got the other two coming on Monday/Tuesday)

Also I dont have the 90mm on the side of my case yet as I am replacing that too with a new one and let the old man have the old one.

Well I have finally got round to adding a few pics of my system since adding the water cooling system you can find them here.

As you can see it is not compleately finnished I still need to mount the RAD properly and redo the hosing too as I messed-up doing it the first time and ran out of hosing. But at least you camn see where I am upto now.
