I am upgrading my computer case and cpu cooling in about 2 weeks. I need to know if water cooling is hard to hook up to the cpu and is it loud?
Also how long will a watersetup work and is it safe?
What is the best brand of water cooling setuip out i provided a link to what setup i might get thanks for the info
I heard the blizzard or z4 block is the best way to go

thanks

Water cooling is really pretty easy to hook up. Mine is virtually silent using two 80mm noise blocker fans on the radiator and a 80mm Papst in the PSU. I'm also watercooling the Northbridge and will watercool my Video card also when I get a new one (my current GF2 MX is passivly cooled). If you go that route the loudest part of your system will be your hard drive. If you want max. performance on the other hand and start mounting Daltas on your radiator....

My setup keeps my Athlon XP1700@1.6Ghz at around 38 deg.

Geesh $230 for a setup seems kinda steep to me. I haven't spent over $100 total on my system, but I made my own water block. The Z4 looks pretty good, maybe get it and then you can buy other parts cheaper. I am a 'do it yourself' kind of guy and I am pretty cheap too so I made my own.
