xtreme systems has a good one you can follow, there is also this one i followed myself :)http://www.overclock.net/water-cooling/766479-watercooling-guide-beginner.html

Here is another guide:http://www.koolance.com/technical/cooling101/001.html . Btw, Koolance makes best water cooling products, the main thing you have to be careful about is the pump- if you buy a cheap water cooler and if the pump fails or suppose you were not there when it does- you'll wreck your entire system. So my recommendation would be: Buy a good quality water cooler or don't buy at all.

Just a rant here but I really dont understand why people use water cooling now, I mean a 2500K will happily go to 4.8Ghz on a decent air cooler. The limiting factor isnt the heat, its the CPU you happen to have.

Why do you need a guide, just plug stuff in, it really can't be rocket science.

actually if the barbs are not fitted properly it can leak all over your system, now i know you don't want that happening now do you :p

agree Danger Dens Pumps and Swiftech are two of the best so far.

yes but thats just sandy bridge i would still put it underwater to hit the 5ghz mark but on the side of that if they are that overclockable i would want to see the results with socket 2011 ;)
