Guys, Just want to run this by others to make sure I'm not missing something. I currently have a 480mm 60mm thick rad (HWLabs BlackIce SR-1) and I'm upgrading my graphics to SLI 970s. My CPU is a 3930k running at stock clocks and voltage set to 1.015 (I think). I think I'm fine on my...

OK. So I originally had a Core i7 920 system until it died eariler this year. As such, I replaced it with a Core i7 3770k build but I'm finding that my virtual machine performance is clearly suffering so I'm considering getting an X79 system to replace it. Does anyone have any experience...

Anyone have any experiences with this coolant? Just bought a few bottles and noticed flakes in them. Primochill agreed to replace them but just wondering if this type of thing is common as I've not used this coolant before.

Figured it was finally time to join OC3D forums. Been following TTLC on youtube for a while and building my own systems for about six or so years. Started watercooling about two years ago.
