gg_Malkavian Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 Here's my rig : It's a P4 Prescott 3.2 @ 3.52 (Socket 775), memory of 1024 (2 512 (3200 2.5-3-3-8 @ 3520) in dual channel) mushkin, a Chaintech 6600GT, WD SATA Hard drive (200Go) and a mobo Chaintech Zenith V915P. I use the intel stock fan and I'm not satisfied about its performance ([email protected] [email protected] celcius). I want to switch to water cooling but I know nothing about that. From what I've heard it's a better cooling solution than air is but I don't want to spend 100$ on cpu cooling. Could you suggest something that would fit on my rig, not expensive, easy to install and effective. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
E Fudd Posted March 2, 2005 Posted March 2, 2005 (edited) Maybe something like this ? http://www.crazypc.com/Merchant2/merchant....uct_Code=PX9352 oops no waterblock should get you to about 110 F @ idle Edited March 2, 2005 by E Fudd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkScorpion Posted March 2, 2005 Posted March 2, 2005 Well, in technicalities, its literally impossible to compare temps with another person's, unless they are both in the same, controlled environment using the same equitment. But Back to the point, that kit he suggested would go great with one of the PolarFLO blocks, but you gotta realize, you need to do alot more research and comparisons to see whther or not w/c is right for you, with your severely limited budget (100 bucks cant get you anything good <_<). Personally, I would just upgrade to better air cooling until you are ready for w/c, because its a big investment that requires some pretty regular maintainance.

ICON57 Posted March 2, 2005 Posted March 2, 2005 for your budget, you are better off getting a zalman heatsink. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gg_Malkavian Posted March 2, 2005 Posted March 2, 2005 So you think that the Thermalright XP-120 would fit on my rig without problems? It wouldn't require any adaptor whatsoever? Do you put a fan on that think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
slayer2cool Posted March 2, 2005 Posted March 2, 2005 i think it would need the socket 775 adapter...im not sure though.. and yeah you do put a 120mm fan on it... anything from a panaflo to a delta focus flow..its really up to you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
