Thinking about getting a Water Cooling system, but don't know anything about them, from what i see in Pictures, it looks like it makes your Ability to work on your PC Annoying..

Thanks/Rob

well one pro are that it keeps your cpu cooler than most conventional hsf's so it owuld make it pretty easy to keep your cpu stable, specially when overclocking. A couple of cons are the fact that the system could leak and it usually cost's a lot. However, if you're careful, you'll have a very stable and cool system running.

depends on the setup you have, I have plenty of room in mine still, but its not portable <A HREF="http://www.calvsplace.cwc.net" target="_new">link here</A>

Alright, Thanks for your response, i think i'll go with the Volcano 7 for now, I don't think im ready for overclocking yet.. I heard the Volcano 7 is pretty big, but i also heard its a pretty good CPU fan.. would this keep the Anthlon XP 2000+ at the right temperature, Would you recomend a Second case fan..

Thanks/Rob

You can get an XP 2000+ system from gateway or someone like that with a crappy fan that'll keep it at a decent temperature. A Volcano will do more than fine. It'll even be good for some mild overclocking.

what do you mean MILD!!!, it's a huge HSF 7,000rpm...he should be sufficient for more then mild i would assume...if not then what do you recommend other then water cooling system

i suppose it depends on your definition of mild but i would say fan based cooling will always allow mild overclocking
to get hardcore overclocking you need water !
or you could try peltier+fan which can work
remeber overclocking means running a system stable, not just booting up and running long enough to take a screenshot b4 it crashes.


Trying is the first step to failure
