Ok i have listed my specs below and i am thinking of installing a watercooling kit. My current temps are 33c idle and about 45 full load. Will i gain anything from watercooling exept quiet??? i really need the watercooling kit for temps rather than noise as i have second computer for downloading and staff like that.

    i am really new to water cooling. I just want to know what is the minimum to use for my system.I have a thermaltake case,cpu cooler,psu and i am really very happy with the performance so i was thinking of going also for a thermaltake water cooling.
    http://www.thermaltake.com/watercooling/a1681.htm or
    http://www.thermaltake.com/watercooling/cl-w0005bigwater/cl-w0005.htm

    The first one says Cooling Power

    you notice on the danger den link that the products say .01 as their cost, but if you click on them they arn't? I think someone deserves a sueing. :rarr:

    Don't bother with the thermaltake kits, they're junk IMHO. And your sig shows a prescott, the thermaltake pos would be a waste of money cuz it won't cool it.

    Well My Thermaltake Volcano cooler does a very good job actually. I get temps much lower than other people do with same processor. the only negative is that it creates a LOT of noise. The cooler by it self creates around 50db at full speed (6100 rpms). Imagine with the extra 5 fans (2 spin at 3000rpm and other at 1800rpms) how much noise is created. What i want actually is a cheap solution of water cooling kit that will actually cool my cpu better.

    If you're looking for a "cheap" watercooling kit, and the magic word here is "cheap", that cools better that what you have now, it isn't gonna happen. Those kits by thermatake will cool the same as what you have now. You want better, it isn't gonna be cheap. You want cheap, it ain't gonna be better.

    You might as well stick with what you have unless you're gonna spend a little more money.

    I'd say that should be enough to buy the best watercooler kit out there, or at least close to the best.

    Been reading quite a bit on WCing but there's many different systems to use,(silent vs fan systems) (inside vs outside systems) (cpu cooler only) (CPU,HD,video etc) so it's really up to the individual to choose. I am not WCing yet, but have been trying to read a bunch. So I'm informed when I purchase.
    Not sure which type of system you want -- But here's some links to both-- -

    koolance Exos-Al
    Zalman Reserator on sale
    Swiftech H2O-120-FB Single Processor Liquid Cooling Kit
    Cooler Master Aquagate
    Thermaltake BigWater Water Cooling Kit
    Kingwin Arctic Liquid Cooling Kit
    Titan TWC-A04 and Alphacool Cape Set
    Hope all this didn't confuse you. You'll have to read the reviews and figure which you'd want to try.
