A64 cooling question

Heya, Ive recently bought an A64 Venice CPU, and im wondering what I should do about cooling.. I hear the stock hsf is good for getting relatively good ocs, but im looking for something a little better than a stock hsf, but I'm on a tight budget for the next few months

The two options ive been thinking about are:
1) Watercooling, this would have to wait at least 3months or
2) Thermalright XP-120 w/ 120mm delta

1) Water cooling: I've only ever seen one of my friends here in New Zealand actually have water, and he brought a prebuilt from OCNZ.. im wondering what you guys could advise me on what i should do.. im not the best modder, infact ive never modded before, so building would be hard, and risky for a noob like me, so would buying a prebuilt be the better idea? if so, what do you think is a good prebuilt watercooling system for socket 939?

2) Now, although noise doesnt worry me much as i have a Volcano 12+ EE @ 48dBa, it would be nice to just tone the delta down a bit, as 59dB is quite a bit louder than 48dB . I was wondering, the delta site says that you shouldnt use any rheostats with the fan, but in one of the stickies it says that unless youre deaf, you should use a rheostat.. Can you actually use a rheostat safely with the deltas? if so, would it be possible to mod my current Volcano one to work with it? comments are welcome

Thanks for your input,

I think WCing might be a little much, unless you want the OCs, have the money and patience, and are willing to learn about WC (cause its just somehting else i recommend if ur WCing).

If ur gonna air cool, and are willing to have a large HS, go with either that XP-120, or what is better, Thermaltake's Sonic Tower, I cant remember who, but either Electron Chaser or Sententinal has tried that HS and said it performed well better than the XP-120, which is pretty cool.

hmm thanks, ill look into the sonic tower .. i am willing to learn about wcing, but i dont really want to "test" it on a brand new a64system if you know what i mean lol, maybe an old duron or something though..

well, watercooling isn't for everyone, especialy considering the price list for WCing parts in NZ... air cooling is still a good option, if your looking for a delta http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/delhigper.html these guys stock EFB series AND they deliver internationally. although if you do want to go watercooling there is alot of useful information in the stickeys...
