Only an Athlon 64 3200. I got the heatsink because I have a windowed case and it looks cool. It's also damn effective - with Cool 'n' quiet on, the fan barely spins when the CPU's idling (you can just about read the label on the fan's spoke hub!)

Dunno - I actually turned cool 'n' quiet off as I found the fan speeding up and slowing down more annoying noise-wise than a constant pitch. I might turn it back on to check out the temps and do a comparison with having the fan running at full tilt.

Plainly, Llama is trying to seduce you. "Cooler" talk, indeed. Llama takes brokeback to the next level. :ange:

home built h2o cooling.

3x120mm fan radiator
1/2" inner diameter tubing (UV GREEN)
swiftec pump mcf650
polar flo water block (they stopped making them lol great waterblock though)

and a horribly constructed fill-bleed system!

water got so dirty i haven't changed it(copper is oxidizing)! still good temps, dust in radiator really a ***** to clean. when it was fresh and no dust clogging the Rad, temps were room temperature + or - 1 degree idle. and load was +6~8

now its like +10 to those numbers haha, too much dust.

truly overkill, but i suggest to you wannabe watercooling people out there, invest in a fill-bleed kit and an air filter for your radiator!

sounds like you need an enema to flush the system.
