I've got a P4 Prescott running at 3.0 @ 3.55 on 1.475 Vcore it gets up to 70 celsius under load with a Zalman 7000 aircooler.
Will i notice alot difference on watercooling ? or is watercooling not appropiate to take on alot of prescott Watts ? I want to clock it upto 4.0 ghz
Also any tips on which waterblock etc. to get welcome

if you're going for that overclock, you will need at least water cooling. i'm using the koolance exos kit with the cpu-300-h06 block. 2.8e overclocked to 3.6 and doesn't go above 40C under heavy load.

Sweet temps !
Would it be possible to built everything inside a big case (radiator etc.)
and still get good temps ?

yep. with most kits, everything goes inside your case.

frozencpu has some really good stuff.

frozencpu has some good stuff, but all their kits have small radiators..
if u want to get rid of that possible 150+watts of heat from that prescott, i'd suggest going for a dtekcustoms.com kit or dangerden.com kit and make sure to get a heatcore or larger. this way you won't have to resort in a loud fan to keep things cool and won't worry about expanding to ur gpu or nb in the future.

Man im on WC and i got idle temps of 48C and Load temps of 54C, im going to get a new HC and upgrade from BI Pro, hopefully that will help a little.

After some research im planning to get a Dangerden RBX cpu block and a Swiftech MCP600 pump. Is this a good combo ? Im still not out for which radiator to go. I want to place it in my case.
