I'd have to agree.. you already have sufficient cooling for a celeron 633. If you are willing to part with the money to go to watercooling.. possibly a new mobo/cpu is in order? Otherwise.. I would just save the cash with regards to cpu cooling. It might be better spent on case mods or additional case cooling.. things that will carry over to any future processors (assumig you are happy with your existing case).

With the dramatic downfall of CPU prices and new generations of CPU's just weeks away - Naeleros has hit the nail on the head. For now, mod the crap out of your case - to get the best and most efficient air flow. Wait for the new CPU's coming out, then jump on them. Watercooling that 633 won't get you even close to O/Cing a 1.5 Palomino with air cooling.

so i take it you are an intel fan eh? oh yeh how are the plastic cows???? (just noticed where u live)
I don't think there is an intel CPU that needs watercooling, P4 might do, but i havent heard much about how hot they run.... if i were you, i'd wait for that northwood thing to come out, should be pretty quick CPU and may be worht watercooling it....

dont mention they cows, once people in america find out about them i will have to move. No i am not an intel fan, i was forced into intel as a upgrade route, thinking abouit it insted i could have got a duron and a mobo instead fo my new mobo

thats expensive! im looking to spend about £800 in total for my new system, dunno what type of a budget The Overclocker is on.
im gonna need every penny! £180 YY server cube, £150 or more Nforce chipset Mobo. about same for 1.5 palomino, as well as a new PSU and watercooling set up!

ok, the overclocker is on a budget of around nothing at the moment as i am 14 and have no money, i will see if i can swap my mobo and chip for a AMD set but i doubt it, or i might just save up for the tualatin
