just like it says i have about 200 to spend on a watercooling kit and its my first time with this stuff. im running a 2600+ at 2.2 (16.5x133[old ram]) and i idle about 40ºC and max load at about 44ºC. I have a volcano 9 right now on full blast and i dont know if i should keep going with the overclock and wait till i hit around 50ºC on full load before i go with the watercooling, but i must say im really getting sick of the noise.



anything will help.

There are a BUNCH of threads with this kinda stuff. New ones come in every couple of days...so you're probably going to find more useful information if you just use the search feature. Once you know what you want, or can't quite figure something out, then post. You'll get better (and more specific) advice that way. :)
