CPU HSF suggestions?

[braz]

I think i might just finally get this watercooling kit. Ive saved up quite a bit of money from working at whitecastle lol. Any other suggestions for kits around $200?

its not worth the money, imo u should buy the TRUE lapped for 50. cant go wrong, itll cool ur cpu down ALOT! dont spend 200 on a wc setup for ur system, 200 is alot of money to spend on a mid range system.

The reason i went to watercooling is because i have nothing better to waste money on But my TRUE let me run the q6600 at 3.6ghz for the last year.

Get the TRUE... Water cooling isn't so great for 45nm cpu's anyways. Ask around...

yea I run my e8400 @ 3.6ghz, but its at 3.0 (stock right now) running at 42c idle. But once again, I get 10 different readings, and 42c is my highest and moves around the most.

True w/ good airflow will do you good. Keeps my quad two cores low 30's the other two high 20's Idle. Two Scythe's push/pull

I have a Q6600 @ 3.6ghz OC'ed, I used Artic Silver and a Zalman 9700 Cpu cooler, I idle around 28-32c on a bad day and add +10-12c under heavy load.

thats rly good. my temps are terrible lol. I know we've had this discussion before, but I just downloaded real temp 2.7 and it shows me at 34c vs 45c. Which do I believe?!? 34c would be an awesome temp to have if its true. BTW, the HSF is not even warm to the touch.
