Screwed Up Toys

2009: Here are some tips for overclocking when I get to that someday. The plan calls for a liquid cooling setup to run next gen games after Crysis. Running a Prolimatech Megahalems cooler on the CPU now and hope to eventually overclock it and liquid cool the GTX 280 GPU.

Tips

• H2O Tubing: use some type of lubricant when putting the PrimoFlex on the barbs of you components. The reason being is silicon is sticky compared to PVC. If you do not apply lubricant, the tubing can be very difficult to remove. I would recommend a tiny dab of petroleum jelly (Vaseline) rubbed on the barb. This will make it much easier to install, and remove the tubing.
