Hello guys. So, that is my watercooled gaming pc. I overclocked my AMD Phenom II 4 Core from 3.4ghz to 4.0ghz. With air cooling on when it was overclocked to 3.6 on full load after about 1 minute it would be at 70 degrees celsius. Now with watercooling at 4.0ghz I've ran it on full load for 15 minutes and it hasn't exceeded 45 degrees celsius. I couldn't be happier with the outcome.

I just have a few questions to ask. On one of the pictures you see that there is condensation in the reservoir, is this normal? Or have I done something wrong?
Second question, my graphics card is the AMD Radeon HD 6670 1gb, I've looked all over the internet for a waterblock for it and cant find one. Does anyone recommend a card that can be watercooled that is the same performance?

Let me know what you think of my PC.

Nice :)

Condensation in the res, pretty normal. Pretty much just a result of the changing water temperature from ambient to equilibrium when you start dumping heat into the water.
I really wouldn't bother water-cooling a 6670 or any card similar to it TBH. The block would likely cost more than the card, and the thing doesnt even need its own power connector so its not going to run that hot. Also the reason there are no blocks is for the above reasons, manufacturers arent going to make a block for a low end card, no one will bother.

Okay thank you very much for the info! Do you have any cards you could recommend for about 100-150 pounds?
