water vs. air

how much cooler do u think i could get my cpu using water? im at 58C now oc'd to 2.6GHz

 

[slick_tech15]

maybe 10 degrees if you are using a stock cooler.

ya its just stock. i figured i'll wait till my next proc which is currently gonna be the conroe and then get water. my friends pump broke last time and the hose popped out and u can imagine what happend after that lol. so i'm kinda iffy about it

so is water really worth the money? with the money of a good water system you could upgrade ur processor right?

 

[Baez]

well not exactly. if u buy a system its only about 200 and a good proc is at least 400

then will this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...706980&Submit=ENE&SubCategory=343&Order=price

be able to out clock this
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103531

which the diff is only $146

Will it be oced way past that in order to be worth that $200?

you know you can use non conductive fluids in the place of water...

if you want a REALLY goot water cooling system, you are gunna have to pay some money.

For all my cooling stuff on my old machine, i spent over 800 bucks on it. Had a 3 fan rad, 1/2 inch tubing, blocks on both vid cards, cpu, bridge, . had a 200w peltier on the cpu with a supplementary 300w psu in one of my bays
