Hi,
I just bought a Soltek 75-FRN2-L board, a Barton 2500+ and 2x512 MB CL2.5 PC3200 memory + a very cheap Creative GF4 Ti4600 gfx card.
Now im trying to choose which cooling i should buy, i would really like to run the barton at 10x200 or 11x200, but i would really prefer to keep my machine quiet as well(ive already got a case with Noise Control Magic shield, which actually works wonders).
My first idea was to buy a Thermalright SLK-800A heatsink and then put a 26db Papst on it with either a voltage control or a temperature control. But then again, i've heard that the GF4's in general make alot of noise, so might also want to replace the fan there or similar, driving the price up near the range of cheap water cooling solutions which can cool CPU + GPU + northbridge.
I had my eye on this(its in danish but still...): http://www.watercooling.dk/shop/productinfo.asp?id=678
Its pretty cheap, seems to have lots of copper bits(always good and has one favorable review.
Here is its install guide(english):

I was just wondering if this wouldnt be more efficient as well as quiet compared the alternative given above(btw, i know nothing about watercooling ?
Any feedback appreciated.
