I have just ordered a 2.8Ghz P4 with the 800 front side bus. What would be the best cooler for this? I have been thinking about going water cooled but I am a little cramped on space

With older chips, water cooling often created lower temps which allowed a higher overclock. The new P4s seem to hit a wall before temps become too much of a factor, so water cooling will usually not increase a P4C stable overclock that much. It will still be quieter, of course.Wolffvet said:I thought water cooling was supposed to superior to air cooling
