Computer rebuild advice

[Snowreap]

you will probably need new cooler blocks if you are changing out parts, since the old ones probably won't fit. these are the metal blocks that clamp onto the cpu, video chip and/or bus interface chips (depending on which of them were watercooled in your old rig) and have 2 hoses attached, one for cool water in and one for heated water out.

there's a fair possibility that the video and bus interface water blocks will work with newer boards, but I would consider it unlikely that the one for the cpu will fit.
