Since they're new... You'll probably have to wait till some water blocks for the X800 series start poping up.

doesn't the cooling on the X800 seem the same as the 9800?

it all depends on the hole spacing and stuff. Id check around but i need sleep and will check later on after i get sleep

HackingGuru,

They use the same as the 9X00 series. Don't worry.
If i where to recommend a block, i would choose Swiftechs gpu blocks with the 1/2 inch inserts. Awesome block.

That is a killer setup! Especially the Black Ice Extreme 2, you are gonna have loooow temperatures.

You only have to attach the Hydor L30 pump very well to the case (with some kind of anti-vibration material, rubber, etc) - it vibrates a lot.

Thank you for the note, I will be ordering soon, total price with case $600 haha mah hahahhahahha, give me a week and half and i'll post pix :) Also, I plan to overclock this BABAY... any tips I should get? I will be getting the X800 and the FX-53 with Corsair PC3500 ECC CAS 2 mem. Also I wanted to ask, will this thing Leak, just is it common for it to LEAK? Also, I will be shipping this to a friend with it filled. It should be fine right?

Absolutely no. If you build it right, you will never have leaks. But, do not ship that rig filled, dont even ship it with the rig built either.

Are you sure? People have had water in them and they can be shipped fine, Crazy PC says they done it many times. I will be bolting down the Radiator, Resovior, Pump, Etc. Are you sure this thing will leak during shipment?????? How?

The site isn't dead, peeps have other things to do sometimes. If anyone recommending shipping a assemlbied watercooling pc, i wanna see that company that wants to insure that shipping. You shouldn't even ship an assemblied aircooled tower. I always separate the, mainboard, vga, cpu, harddives and cooling.

Soo much fun assembling computers, parts, watercooling. I'd pay people just to be assembling fresh computer parts.
