Need Help Choosing Water Cooling! (socket 775)

[E Fudd]

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?

The Thermalright XP-120 comes with it own special bracket that screews through the motherboard 2 center screews - clips own the bracket in the 4 corners. Its pretty easy - I suggest you take the MB out and don't forget to put your ram in first

Its a great cooler - yes a 120mm fan say maybe 80cfm would go good

 

 

Where H2O has the edge it seems is under a load

I would vote for the XP-120 as well with a high flow fan, I've got about a 70cfm or so fan on it right now and I can barely hear it really. I'm probably going to get a tornado for it soon.

Thermalright website says that they "have not found any board(Socket 775) that is not compatible with XP-120"

You will need the LGA775 Retention Bracket for XP-120. the bracket that comes with it will not fit Socket 775.

 

it does not come with a fan so you will have to get a fan for it. a 120mm one.

Aight guys, thanks! I'm going to try silver thermal paste first and if I'm not satisfied Imma gonna get this XP-120 with a 120mm fan (BTW, is it easy to plug a fan on that heatsink? Are there holes to make the fan fit in it or something?). But do you REALLY think it should bring my load temp under 68 celcius?

yes its easy to put a fan on -it has clips- and yes it will definately bring your temps down below 68!
