ok my temps are flucuating between 45-55cel and i like my temps to stay under 35cel i touch the waterblock and its hot to the touch all i have is white paste and i also have my 2500+XP barton which is 1.8gigs stock. and its overclocked to 2.2gigs 3200+XP it runs great its just getting too hot and i was wondering if i bought a waterblock like this 1 http://www.swiftnets.com/products/mcw5000.asp if that would decrease my temps???? and also if i drain my system and put distilled water in and used artic silver. thanks in advance Daniel

you should be getting sub 40's with water... i'm getting sub 40's on air with same cpu,memory and overclock to 3200+

I don't know what you should be getting. But, I do know you system ought to be better than 100% air cool (because water cooling ends up air cooling with radiator being cooled by AIR.) My 100% air cool from XP1700 to 2.1Ghz tops no more than 45C at 23C room temp and 1.8 Vcore. However, motherboards BIOS temp reporting is always full of BULLSSh_ts for a good reason .... to screw you either way.

real_cool, I wonder if Daniel read the link you provided in his last post. Something's wrong with this water cooling setup. Skip

well i would suggest a system blower, to mount next to your graphics card to help push out all the heat they can create, plus depending on where your radiator is, it will move some of the residual heat away from that. adding extra case fans to circulate air will never hurt, especialy if you mount some low and some high, this way the lows bring in cold air and the high fans will suck out all that bad air.

get silver paster its much better

you don't have a problem maybe go with a better water cooler kit or just go into special cooling that might cost around 200 or up- thats the only way to bring it to -"S
