I currently have a Coolermaster mini aquagate on my X2 3800+ @2500. Right now with Firefox open and Everest open, I'm seeing 48* temps.

Would it be worth my while to get rid of the WC and go with something like a Freezer/Zalman/Ninja and reinstall the two rear 80mm exhaust fans (they were removed when the WC radiator went in) or should I just keep the WC?

Thanks all.:beer:
 
I say you just get a good HSF like TTake Big Typhoon or Scythe Ninja and reinstall the 80mm fans on your exhaust. The CM Aquagate isn't a good WC Kit, much more the mini version.
 
Now, if I remove the WC unit, will the oem bracket still be under there allowing me to mount the new unit? I'm assuming that the WC uses a bracket that goes under the mobo to aid in mounting, while the Ninja/Freezer attach the the oem bracket? Is that right?
