OK, I have tested out crysis warhead again, and it seemed to last much longer then last time, but after 30 minutes of playing it froze on me just like last time.

Since you're planning on going for an expensive WC loop, the last thing I can suggest before you do so (apart from a complete driver reinstall) is to buy a chipset cooler for your motherboard, something like a Thermalright HR-05 or Noctua NH-U6.

It's compatible with all of MSI's previous AM2 boards. Just because yours isn't listed doesn't mean it isn't compatible.

How do you even attach the Thermalright HR-05 on your motherboard? I see no holes for screws or anything...

I'm certain it was originally called the NH-U6, perhaps they renamed it before they discontinued it. You attach a CPU cooler by screwing it into the two holes the normal chipset cooler has - standard coolers use plastic spring clips though.

The HR-05 IFX should be the best bet for your system. The IFX means it's the more powerful version. The SLI versions allow the heatsink to be in a different place to the block in case of tight spaces. That shouldn't be necessary for your system though.

I got the wildfire heatsink put it on my motherboard, (great fit) played left4dead for 1 hour, boom, it crashed again. btw I dont think its my motherboard because I touched the heatsink on the wildfire and it seems warm not hot like i expected it to be, (i dont remember how hot it was on the original heatsink)
So Its not the motherboards heat issue.
I still think its the graphics card since its the hottest thing in there, my cpu is water cooled and is at 38 degrees C, I wana attach the graphics card along with it.
Is there anything else you can suggest or can you suggest any water cooling parts? I already got the waterblock for the graphics card, Can you suggest parts for my.
CPU
a good sort of tubeing
and whatever you call those things that connect the waterblock to the tubes
a radiator
and a good pump

I'm still unconvinced it's the card's cooling at fault. What case and PSU do you have?

Nothing there I wouldn't say is adequate, but can you try another PSU to be sure?

With only one X2, a 650W will do fine, as long as it's a quality unit like a Corsair.

thermaltake 750 watt was fried, bios said no power is feeding through the graphics card, (this psu was inside my pc when I dropped coolant accidentaly on my old 7950gx2, 2 bad i didnt have the non conducting coolant. Never used the 750 since then
I went to the store and bought the Corsair 1000HX, I didnt want the 650 because I have 4 HDs 1 CD 1 4870x2 a m/b Corsair Dominator RAM 4G and 4 fans and a nautilus 500
Will give results of crashing soon

You just threw away a lot of money. I ran the exact same system you listed but with air cooling and an Intel Quad core (heavily overclocked though) off a 520W HX. No joke, it ran fine for the whole time I had it. I only upgraded when I added a second X2.

its not about the money, its about checking just to make sure wattage isnt a problem, and guess what, it isn't I tested playing Crysis Warhead this time and boom crashed after 6 minutes. Im starting to assume its the RAM, and mabye a memtest86 would prove it, or the entire motherboard is crapped out, and i should just go with a high end asus board.
What do you think?
