Wow, i'm impressed.

I went and got the Corsair Hydrocool 200 for $450au.

I was using the stock AMD hsf that comes with the Barton 2500+.

My temps used to be around 55c Load (Cpu) and 40c (case).

But now they are around 34c load (Cpu) and 32c (Case).

Very happy.

Now i can overclock!!!

yeah not many people know about the HydroCool, its pretty awesome, would reccommend it to anyone looking for a simple, highly effective watercooling setup.

where are you getting those temps from? is that they hydrocool's temp probe or the CPU temp probe?

If its the HydroCool add 10 degrees, but I don't think it is, thats about what I get (non-OC) from the motherboard monitor. The HydroCool's probe is on top of the water block (bad idea I know)
