hey guys, umm ya i know the prescott's run hot!!! (and by hot i know you guys mean HOTTTTTTT) and i know water cooling is reccomended... but i also know that a high end air cooling rig has similar effects as a water cooling rig (well a low-mid range water cooling rig). My question is this...
i'm building a new rig.. (as most of you already know) and up till now the northwood was what i was looking at... (but as those of you who know me. knew) the northwood's only would keep me eye for so long, so recently i've been starting looking at the prescott's.
Couple of questions:
First question...the stock hsf on the prescotts, do those cool them well? If not do they cool them enough so that the average joe who buys one and slaps it on won't have a problem?
Second question, would a thermalright sp94+ a tornado cool that baby? (it would most likely make me deaf). This question also comes with a follow up question... would a sp94 + any fan that pushes about 30cfm cool the prescott well?
Finally... should i just go water cooling! (i mean it's a big hassle and going to be tough to fit everything within the antec super lanboy...)
