Introduction

So it appears that water-cooling your rig is becoming more "mainstream" than just a year or even 6 months ago. Since I have always been an air cooler, but an avid overclocker, I decided to take a foray into the WC world to see what all the fuss is about.

I looked around, and asked many questions to find out what was needed, I settled on a "kit" solution. I say "kit" because I was able to modify the kit on the fly during ordering. This allowed me to upgrade / downgrade the radiator, pump or water block, a nice feature. I chose the kit because of my lack of experience in this realm; by lack of experience I mean I have none. I purchased the Innovatek kit from HighSpeed PC, deselected the "InnovaCool" water block and upgraded the pump to an Eheim 1048 and then added the Innovatek X-Flow waterblock to complete the set.
