Got one for the Mrs Roo ... finally 117.00 to the front door ...

That same $117 would get you half way there to a new faster motherboard and processor.

I went with the 745 last winter and havent had any trouble at all . I liked the bigger tubes, pump and dual radiators. I paid 200 for it when it was first released , but i think its come down some now

I have been thinking about going with a coolant setup for my current box and also installing one in the next system as well. I know it cuts down on noise itself but how much does it cut that down? I want to quiet this beast of mine down alot now that it sits in a completely tiled room and it gets loud in here with 6 80mm and 2 120mm fans going full bore.

So... wait a second... You don't need a clunky external unit, you just have the twin-120mm unit outside the comp?? That's pretty neat.

I think if I ever go water I'll want something like this.

Roo.......thanks just ordered from Frys. Just a month ago built a new system described in my signature. 4000+ runs a tad warm playing AH up to 53 C. Doing other tasks runs at 40C. Have 4 case fans 120mm, 2X92mm and one 80mm with a good thermaltake heatsync and fan. This looks easy to install.....hope it does the trick.

Thanks for the info.

Yep Krusty , you can install everything inside expept the 240mm radiator. I personally have my pump , 120mm, and 240mm radiators sitting on my desk, but that was my choice . I like being able to put both radiators in the window to grab some below Zero winter air .

I still run all six of my case fans thou , if i wasnt overclocking i would prolly be able to get by with 3 . Even with summer ,and the 800mhz overclock, i still havent seen anything over 40c . 38

My only beef with the TT bigwater is the acrylic water block cap. I don't trust it. I have heard they will crack over time; I do not know this for a fact, it's just what I have read.

My brother in law is a silver smith & when I get the chance (read - when I get the urge) I will get him to build me a solid silver water block. We had discussed it before & he said the current price of silver (as of three months or so ago) would allow him to make it for around $50 worth of silver. Coin silver at that...apparently the sterling silver is more expensive...go figure.

mrs Roo's pc has 2 120mm fans and now on water it stays nice and cool with its mb running around 26- 30,,, its cpu is now at 28-32 (2500+ @ 2.2) i droped almost 20c from the cpu just by adding the Cheap h2o setup to it , and it droped its case temp a few degrees (it has way better case flow then my 8 yo case does)

(These temp avgs are during the Evil Heat of the day here while loaded ,,and no we dont have AC)

When 1st installing a h2o setup its best to try to lay all components flat . then fill the system and bleed it . I cheated and left her cpu fan on .. cranked it up for a good bleed and leak check .. then shut down and mounted the cpu and radiator . (She's happy now ...I might even get to play pirate ...Har )

Last night while in the SEA I noticed that the room temperature rises about 8 degrees when playing aces high.

Crazy.

reschke, you got your computer next to the toilet? All tiled room? That's either toilet, shower, or janitor closet

I've always wondered...does a Socket 478 Northwood chip count as the "P4 Prescott" they have listed as supported on that page?

there sort of the same but not .. same pins ,size , ect ,,, the prescott is the one that runs hotter then hell and spends alot of its life throttled back , people doent even realize it .

I knew all that. I mean will a cooler rated to work with a "P4 Prescott" work with my Socket 478. I'm guessing the answer is "Yes" by your above post.

LOL,
My whole house is ceramic tile except the bedrooms and theatre/game room.

Pretty common here in the Islands.
