My baby has watercooling, oh yeah.

So, today I finally finished watercooling my baby, I bought the Swiftech H20-220 Apex Ultra Plus watercooling kit and spent two night installing it, it took about 9 hours to get it up and running, and I was on the verge of a break down by the end, as I was starting to suffer from the "what if I broked it" syndrome, but it worked, and I'm happy, today I spent an hour with cable ties and I managed to fit it all into the pipe, as before it was sitting on my desk with its tubes splayed out like green intestines.

Pictures to come, as soon as I get off work.

I'm terrified to try watercooling. I have all the mechanical aptitude of a...well, a something that isn't very good at putting things together, and I'm sure I'd just end up spraying super-heated steam all over my poor motherboard.

I'm a better typer/speller than an engineer.  'nuf said, right?   ;)

How much cooler are you running?

Well, I didn't seem to be running overly cooler on idle temps, but I've overclocked the CPU (E6400) from its stock fo 2.13 up to 3.2Ghz so far, and the load temp is about 60c, which is faster then I've managed before with my old air set up.
