DerStig I totally understand the D5's are nice pumps, i figured with my setup and only having one GPU in the loop that the mcp 35x would do the trick, now Arne I did some overclocking last night and reached a stable 4.8ghz on the 3770k with a 1.375 vcore and a 1.7 PLL, might try to lower vcore and raise PLL slightly tonight after work, but so far so good, ran prime for 3 hours, hottest core was 77c. I will note the fans with a higher static pressure could lower the temps even more which would allow me to hit 5ghz keeping the temps below 80c. I won't know till I recieve them in the mail. But for now all seems good.
A couple more quick questions - as you can see from my picture the fluid levels in the res are slightly low, does the hurt or not effect temp or flow?
- Also with this particular motherboard, i updated the bios to the latest and ever since I did that when i restart the computer or boot up from being powered off it will automatically load into the bios everytime, even when I set the first boot priority to my ssd windows drive. So I don't know if there is a setting or if I have a faulty bios?
