    Well, pump died on me in the middle of Bf2142 (great timing huh), temperatures rocketed to 120 degrees Celsius before the motherboard shut everything down, burned my hand when I tried getting a temperature read-out.
    So anyways, anyone got a suggestion for a pump? I believe I use half inch diameter tubing, it only cools the CPU so don't really a super powerful pump. I bought the Thermaltake BigWater SE kit (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835106063)

    It actually works quite well for the P4, but since I had to cut-off the support struts I can't switch back to a conventional air cooled CPU, unless someone knows of a fan that has it's own support and doesn't require the stock motherboard plastic support thing.


    Help is greatly appreciated :)

    Although you could probably find it cheaper.

    Yea I have found that, but the quality is so much better. I made the mistake of getting the Bigwater kit, quite frankly, air pwns it. I suggest this to be the starting point for upgrading your loop.

    Thanks for the replies :)

    I was thinking of a DangerDen pump instead, since I'm very limited on money for now, but really need to get this loop back to operational status.

    Was also considering adding a waterchiller into it, not too sure how one works and stuff, but I've heard some people talk about them instead of using vapour cooling. Any thoughts?
