Default the saga continues.....

okay well i got my whole new watercooling set all up. No leaks after 4 hours yet a new problem has arisen....
the GPU overheats. Badly. to the point where the system reverts it back to something resembling a geforce 2 when really its a 7800 GTX. Quits games and everything, so i cant even game at all.

wellll, heres the configuration of my cooling setup (in order)
radiator>>CPU white water block>>Reservoir>>Pump>>GPU mp1 block>>back to the radiator (which is equipped with a fan)

now the problem i think is that the GPU is recieving the hot water from the CPU's water block and simply overheating......is this the problem? if so what would solve this? is the only way of cooling down the gpu putting another radiator right before it? That would really set me back, and ifi this was my only option, how would i add it.....would i have to completely drain the system? or could i syphon or do something fancy?

in desperate need of help (and gaming)
thanks

I doubt that's your problem. Component order really makes very little to no difference on cooling. I'd suspect a bad mount on the gpu block.

I fixed the problem with the GPU heating up. When i put the side of the case on, it pushed the hose going 2 the GPU and it move the block off of it. So now with the window off i run at 45c and in game for css its 48-50c. Thanks slivuh for helping me build my new comp. Sooner or later ill post some pics of the build.
