I don't have watercooling anymore...but depending on your current rig the koolance propably will be a bit quieter.....the downside with Koolance is that it uses 3 80mm's fan on the radiator, that isn't VERY silent...
But if your looking on a decent watercooling kit, i think you should consider the asetek kits, waterchill they're on par with most "home built" wc setups...
Just ask Zardon, he has a asetek wc kit...

btw...i did some testing, and got it stable enough at 4.2ghz to bench PCmark04 at 4.2ghz....to bad though i had to run it at a 5:4 divider.....anyway here's a pic:

I find this keyboard very pleasing...as the fact that i have to have swiveled keyboards makes it even better..

I actually think that everyone should have swiveled as in the end.. it makes it 10x easier to type... play games.... and learn.... And it's not hard to simple pull the keys off and paint them...

(if i can sucker my sister into air brushing some stuff.. my keyboard will be on of them... she'll even go as far as to air brush the letters and whatnot on each key.... (even the ctrl command keys)....

I'm thinking Black with Red lettering.... and with silver extra function buttons.... *droolz*... phazon yeah!

Ec... I believe that if you get the koolance with all those accesories it might run quiet, but certainly will not get you pas stock if you OC ( you might have to turn the fans on loud, but not sure)

Nice OC and PCMark scores bud. Makes my scores look like a celeron lol.
Another little something I forgot to tell you was to get some Arctic Ceramique.
It is by far the best sub-zero compound out there; it actually makes a very noticable difference

Nah, I've tried AS3/5 and the ceramique is definitely where its at. 4c lower that AS5 is huge in my book.
I never in my life seen such a difference on air, but it seems things change in cold weather.
Tell him to try it out, just as a small test

Zardon · May 17, 2004, 02:56 PM

He had mentioned he had tried quite a few compounds and the silver was the best performing in his testing. -53c was the best I saw. What temps you getting in your bios Kakarot?

dipstick · May 17, 2004, 04:03 PM

That's cool, maybe I was just putting it on wrong. But with the hold temp at -15 the BIOS reads -9/0 idle/load. Though I've been told to only trust the vapo head temp...
