| Kingwin water cooling -> OC
I just bought the Kingwin AWC-1 water cooling kit. Right now My P4 2.6 is at 2.8 with temps of idle 28°C and 39°C under great load.
The main reason I bought it was for my video card. I have a Sapphire 9800 pro 128mb, with stock cooling. I want to overclock it to 9800 XT core and Ram speeds.
The water cooling willl cover the the VPU but will i have to buy heatsinks for the memory chips on the graphics card?
Also, If you find a picture of the kit, it includes a bottle of antifreeze. I was wondering if it is possible to use automotive antifreeze in the water. I wonder this becuase the automotive kind is bright green. So can you put the automotive antifreeze in there instead, and be safe?

since you would need to OC the RAM quite a bit... then yes, you do need to buy heatsinks for the ram.
Since I don't know much about WC, I would just say.... antrifreeze? why?

So would u suggest that i not overclock the Ram too much until i get heatsinks?
9800 Pro - CORE speed 380mhz
Ram Speed 680mhz
STOCK
9800 XT - CORE speed 412 mhz
Ram speed 720 mhz
STOCK
I guess it would be easy to OC the gpu to XT speeds but the ram speed is alittle bit of a jump. ANy suggestions on ram heatsinks?

Yes, that's right, you could probably get the GPU right now up to 420, and the RAM 695 or so... and then go from there once you get the heatsinks
I'll look for some heatsinks right now on newegg 
this copper stuff looks pretty good http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...126-051&depa=1
