Well, if you're looking for a kit i would say that the Asetek ones are one of the best. Swiftech makes some good ones too...

Hello,

I have a 3.4EE ES LGA775 and have the Asetek WaterChill kit KT12AT-L30 (purchased from Overclockers).

The CPU block works great and is keeping my processor at around 33 degrees C at idle using the 7v fan settings on the rad. I havent really checked out a load temp but if it gets much past 40 degrees I would be surprised.

I also have an ASUS P5AD2 Premium board and the shame about the Asetek kit is that the Northbridge block can't be used as it will not fit (at least I can't see how it's going to fit!). The VGA block could go on my X800 but I dont see the point as I run it at default (I did get 580 core and 552 mem on it which I thought was pretty good for a PCI-e card. Default cooling and with AtiTool).

So, the Asetek kit is easy to fit and pretty quiet. I chose this kit over the Koolance kit. I have a LianLi PC-6089A case which is stuffed full so the kit will not fit inside. I have also taken Zardon's advice and slapped a 120mm fan on a Zalman bracket which cools the Northbridge and other board components (Dont forget that without a typical CPU fan your board has less air blowing over it).

One other thing with the Asetek kit....My pump made hell of a racket after 2 days! But you can take it apart and fix it in 10 minutes. See my post on the Asetek website for some info and pics.

I'm glad I purchased this particular kit but you might decide that you might want to not buy a kit and go seperates if the Northbridge block doesnt fit and you dont intend on using the VGA block.

If you need any more details post back and I'll be glad to help.

Chris

dangerden is the best hands down for water. it will cost you though

if your going extreme i sugest some hot case mods and stick a 3x 120mm copper radiator /w TDX block 1/2 tubing. that will own all.

*get the 12v pump also it pushes hella lots of water, o and get some high output fans

* http://www.dangerdenstore.com/ it will cost 280ish /w 3 fans
