My only recommendation is to work on your cable management a little bit, clean it up and you will get better airflow through the case which in turn will keep it cooler and running faster and for longer. Also, you won't have to clean dust out as often because the fans will take it out better.

Well it's DDR3 triple channel RAM so it may not be effected the same way but I would try putting the B1 channel chip in A2, because you very well may get a performance improvement, good catch Tehfunk!

This kit on newegg comes with the basic radiator, tubing, pump, and cpu block. You would have to buy a gpu block specific to your card though. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835128015I would really only get liquid cooling if your really into overclocking, as there are much cheaper heatsink+fan setups that get pretty close to the temps a lot of water cooled setups. I personally would upgrade that video card before getting a liquid setup. |

Buy some canned air and blow the dust out of there every once in a while. from that pic i can already see your cpu heatsink has some dust. As long as you keep things clean and clocked stock, i really dont think you'll have to worry about overheating.

Agreed, but if you really want to look at water cooling. Xoxide (link on our homepage) has a pretty good inventory of that stuff. Lots of stuff to choose from with reviews and how-to's as well. It's on the bottom left side of the homepage. |

If you still want water cooling i would definitely go with the corsair H50 although it only covers the CPU it already comes assembled and is very small so you put the radiator inside the case anywhere that you have a spot for a fan and your done. review of the h50:

I still think watercooling is overrated, too much hassle and upkeep not to mention the risk that is involved!

If you're looking to keep dust out of your system use register filters/furnace filters work great & they don't restrict airflow.

Never thought about that, so you just cut them down to size? How thick do you get? How often do they need to be replaced?

If any of them you should stick with the 1" thick
They can restrict air flow if they get dirty.
I run into this problem all the time in the HVAC field
