COOLING GURUS- share secrets - whats the BEST?

I have never done any of this stuff in my life, but I read a lot and for air cooling I'd say this stuff (I've posted it a lot around here):

Thermaltake 60mm
http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/ther60.html
$8.50

Heatsink:
ThermalRight SK6 All Copper Heatsink - Fantastic! Includes Clip, fan mounts and thermal pad (fan not included)
http://www.kdcomputers.com/Cooling/Socket A.htm
$36

and

CPU shim
https://www.cpufx.com/Merchant2/mer [...] ry_Code=CS
$8

and

Artic Silver 2
http://www.highspeedpc.com/item11.htm
$8.50

I don't want to do air cooling anymore though. Water cooling info is here:

and maybe pick up a few new tips here:

A whole lot of good air cooling stuff is at www.amdmb.com. Like silver rounded cables and aluminum case reviews. www.coolcases.com has the best cases for everything.

Stuff called
arctic silver thermal adhesive
http://www.arcticsilver.com/arctic [...] hesive.htm
could help with that northbridge stuff. I heard of a thing called a blue orb for GF3 cooling http://www.hardcoreware.net/review [...] _orb/1.htm

There are ram heatsink things for sale too.

Those AMD761 chipsets are more difficult to overclock since you can't change the multiplier in Bios. I have the A7M266 and just found a neat little device that I bought for overclocking this board:

The best watercooled system I've seen yet is a regular Costco watercooler. You should be able to cool the chipset, video card and CPU with this thing. Check out
<A HREF="http://www.Koolance.com" target="_new">http://www.Koolance.com</A> for their setups on doing this and getting those chipset cooler and video components. Here is that watercooler, you are going to love this:

So simple and look at those cooling temps. Wow. The best part is you can even stick a couple of beers in there. I'll put this one on a separate thread too.
Good luck.

Waiting for my Golden Socket to OC!

I asked a guy who reviewed a Koolance case and confirmed it is good. his reply is:

"A few problems with their review...the first being that they used a power converter that ALTHOUGH it converts to 110v the amps are severly lacking to run the pump.... Toms knew that when they published the article. Kinda lame.

Toms used a the power supply that the KOOLANCE site SPECIFIALLY SAY'S NOT TO with a DDR system, horribly undervolting the system....

Ever see the AMBIENT room temp. mentioned even once?? No....


I am ashamed that they even printed the article. Think about it.... every review is GOOD, then there is the one on Tom's."

also in this very forum I noticed (thanks ahallada):

But I am very confused about http://www.leufkentechnologies.com/page23.html
where is the price? what is it called? where do you buy it? Why is it on that domain? who wrote that? dew the do? what the?

I just found this site, but I find it to be very very up on the latest and best stuff.
