My overclocked P4 rig

[SilverBack]

Just finished setting it up.
It took me a while to figure out which water cooling gear to go with. I finnally decided to go with the stuff made at Danger Den, a Maze 4 kit.

I have a 2.4C running at 3.22, not a super OC, but it's stable as hell. I posted a page for anyone wanting to see a water cooled pc or who might just want to take a look at it.

I'm using an Abit IC7 Max3 <<<<< Great mobo IMHO.
The case is an Antec SKL3000BQE it's made similarly to a Sonanta case. The hard drive cages rule. SilverBack

That is awesome, very nice setup. You used water cooling, why not a coolant cooler that has thinner hoses? Because I once walked into a compusa and saw that, the coolant tub was open on top and full of yellow-green stuff. This is the idea I have been pondering.

In a water setup many people do use the thinner 3/8" line. The only thing about that though is the more volume of water applied at a time the better the cooling capacity. Overclockers pretty much use 1/2 hose fittings. The water in my system is using a product called Water Wetter which does help the cooling a little, I also have Blue UV reactive dye in the water so the lines glow blue under black light.

Right, but which is actually cooler between water/wetter and coolant?

And what keeps the water/wetter cool as it is constantly reused?
