This is only my 2nd loop ever (first one was about 2 weeks ago) so please feel free to critique! Im not thin skinned and would appreciate any comments or advice. The full system specs are: X3220 G0 (possibly switch out for an E8400 or a Q6600 G0 - still testing) EVGA 750i FTW! 8800 GTS G92 -...

Heres what Ive got so far. Am I missing something? Some little odds or ends? I will be cooling an 8800 GTX, and at this point in time Q6600, which will very shortly turn into an E8400 once Im done benching it I was all ready to do this about 3-4 months ago, and then someone convinced me to go...

Was all ready to go with my 8800GTX on LN2 tonight, but had a setback. Ill give you some backround (as usual) but I think "a picture is worth 1000 words...." and the pic is below. Foxconn Mars mobo, Q6600 G0, 8800GTX, Corsair HX620W psu, 2X1gb PC8500 Mushkin ram. Had to revoltmod the 8800GTX...
