Default Re: yaay... now what do i do?

Well, you would have been better off to avoid buying a kit watercooling solution. Also, if you read that revie, it is a kit not recommended for a novice. It uses small diameter tubing, so it will work about as wel as high end air cooling as well. And since it plugs into the PSU, and you are still running that piece of junk power supply, you are really really asking for major trouble. You cannot keep adding things to that system and expect that power supply to take it. My advice to you would be to google and read everything you can on installing water cooling. Get some proper 1/4" ID (6mm) water blocks and hope for the best. You'd really be better off with a Bigwater kit to start and learn the ropes. And make double triple sure to leak test for 24 hours before you run your PC with it installed.

ANd the Maze 4 is good and of course you can use it on an X800. You'd probably be better off looking for waterblocks with 1/4" (6mm) ID ports though since hte Maze 4 has 3/8" or larger. You really want to make the tubing the same size for everything, so you will need to swap the fittings out on the rad to make it the same size as the pump and blocks.
