waterblock, prolly the maze2 by dangerden.
the best radiator? well.... the commercially made radiators are interesting. the black ice i guess is the best, BUT, you can get just a car heater core, and it will be just as good, or better. and you will save TONS of money on them. a heater core will cost about $25 (or less). the black ice 2 will cost like $80 or so.

there are also some silver waterblocks at pverclock-watercool which are better then the danger den
How about this one here?
34cm x 25cm
with the cooper pipes on the sides
28x24 = 2 - 120mm
the useful size
r the 2 -120mm fans good enough for an 1200 tb?
ps: crapy english
:p
ooooops...
forgot the pic:D :D :D

It looks like a good performer, but I'm wondering how big the pipes are, they look kind of small. if they are less than 3/8" inside diameter, it won't work so good.

my maze two + cooling cube ( from dangerden ) are both performing nicely
Just to be different, I ordered a Maze-2 and the brass tank radiator instead of the cooling cube or super cube. I'll report how it performs when I get it installed. Won't be pushing a peltier, at least not right away, so thought I'd try the smaller radiator. Yes, you read right. Hoot is going to try water cooling. :D

Hoot finally learned water cooling beats air hands down?:eek:
you made the right choice:D

I have read a couple of reviews that say the polyblocks from overclock watercool get worse temps that the maze2

I myself have a dangerden maze 2-1 with a 156 watt pelter on a amd 1.3 overclocked to 1506 at full load the temp is at 120F that is with a 156 watt pelter... i tried a 172watt didn't get much of a difference. but i am looking on getting a new waterblock from overclock-watercool ... this is a pic of the prototype that Chip was nice enought to send me...

I'm gonna be really disappointed if I get temps like that. My 1.0G Tbird runs 1555 Mhz at 39C=105F using the Hoot Chute air cooling with an MC-462A. I plopped down some handsome money to improve on that by virtue of water cooling. My temp was running Prime95 and measured with a Fluke lab grade digital thermometer and type T thermocouple on the core.

alright people after a couple of hrs installing the new Z4 the Aqua Sink and the Motherboard Water block.. All Bought from overclockershideout.com. I also purchase the Universal Hold Down Device And let me tell U it doesn't work with the Z4 nice with the maze just remember not to tighten it too much or SNAP U break the side parts on the cpu Just like I did anyway I fixed the problem buy buying some Plexiglass and made my own hold down devise with the 4 bolts around the Cpu. I think its a lot better then the side clips.. now for the temps... Notice the difference I bought a prob for all the test and its sitting right next to the core.. the system Z4 cooler with 156watt pelter and a 72 watt on the motherboard...
amd 1.4 overclocker to 1500 just for start
512 PC2100
GeForce2 pro 64 Getting the GeForce 3 ti
10000rpm HD maxtor SUCKS its The 2nd one from them and I hear clicking noises coming from the HD again after 3/4 full..
Temps at idle are from of CPU next to core is 15.2c back of Cpu is 28.0c
motherboard temps idle 14.4C not Bad:D
load CPU core temp 16.9c and back of Cpu is 31.0c
load Motherboard temps 17.0c
Z4 Is better then maze2-1 in all ways...
cool better and transfer heat real nice... no big difference in temps... Well this is the test I will be doing another test with the Z4 and the overclock-watercool new Block as soon as it comes out... replies welcome.. .Blackbox AKA wolfsid
