yes it woulb be better than you HSF, but i dont really care for the koolance. i would rather build my own custom setup, but thats me, and i will be setting up water pretty soon for the rig in my sig.:D

How much does a typical water cooling setup cost? I thought I had read that it was a few hundred dollars.

Koolance is good for a fair amount of heat, but for systems giving off a lot of heat, and if you really don't want to have to think about "Is my cooling holding me back?", build your own setup, it's not that dear, and if you don't want to put it in your case, buy a small box to have beside your PC to put it in.

I see you seek for the absolute power from your systems

So..if this is true...forget watercooling

....You NEED a Sub Zero

So..start saving money

I second that!! I even hate my koolance case, it's not even cooler than my oldie swiftech MCX478 on air!! .. dude, you either have to go Vapochill or Prometeia chillin' systems .. I kinda like the vapochill more but it's just my opinion :)

JD, I just check prometia .. I think it has some kind of compatibility issues, BD7II wasn't listed (so I was like :( ) . I think they're more specific to mobos / socket type etc etc .. bleh!
