Here's some old desktop memories. Built it circa 2008, first build, did a custom watercooling set up with dangerden heat sinks, forgot what brand the pump was, and a huge 3x120mm fan radiator for the back. Overclocked my little allendale chip to 3.0ghz for several years with that watercooling set up, the 3/4" tubing did just fine keeping it and the GPU cool.

I'm aware my cable management was shit, and I rigged some of the open ports with blue electric tape after I lost some PCi card slot metal cover trays.
Wish I had some pics when I had the watercooling all hooked up, purred like a kitten without a hitch for 2 years with just flushing the water cooling.
Was pretty proud of my stable OC of roughly 60% also. Bought that CPU for a fraction of what the higher C2D series was going for and at a good clock freq.
