I had to take the watercooling out and underclock my computer because i needed the money (sold the WC parts.). I went from an 1800+ @ 2.2GHZ to running at 1.5 on a staples bought junk HSF combo : (

O well, im going to use this time to re-think and make a brand new badass setup.

Noooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't worry about it. I did the same thing for a while ('downgraded' to an SP97). Air cooling didn't limit my OC a whole lot, but it sure felt good to get the water back in for the low noise and another couple hundred MHz.

I overclocked on SILENT air, 1900+ to 2ghz no sweat. literally couldnt hear it. IMOG has the pc now.

and if you see, 60c is no problem what so ever.

That sucks.
I guess its no better than my situation, I don't have to sustain myself, but my only income is $15 a week for mowing(during summer months only), Christmas money and birthday money. Got to find a stupid Job!! Just not at some fast food joint.....

The main reason that I underclock my tbred-b is due to heat in the room. Not only do I have the smallest room, but the one closest to the heater... I can definately feel a difference between 2.2ghz & 9800pro at 440/365 and 2.2//300/300 - and thats just at idle. If you're not [using that particular pc for] folding, why overclock it like mad on a crappy HSF for surfing? The only time the cpu goes over 70% usage is WinRAR, PAR2, or a game (which I don't frequent much atm).

People also ask me why I have a fast car but "drive like a granny"...until they spend lots of time driving with me...
