A well vented case usually does wonders after you get a cpu cooler. (not being a smart ass just mentioning it). I will let you know about the artic cooling freezer pro 64 in a week or less.

Rick James · 01-28-09, 12:09 AM

Nevermind. I'm ordering a watercooling kit instead.

Also thinking about the Coolit Eliminator. Read an awesome review on it today. The coolit is sealed so no ****ing with filling it.

will sure do

AlabamaCajun · 01-28-09, 12:30 PM

Dood, be careful you don't get sucked into that thing

Nice cooler but I'm a little concerned how much the pelts draw.

Dolk · 01-28-09, 01:15 PM

Those Kits are not the best. An actually WC system is usually the best way to go. I'm not trying to bash your choice, but those things may not do what you want them to do. I would talk to the WC guys in the cooling section, they know how to get things done.

Loveamegood · 01-28-09, 02:07 PM

Looks kinda cool but Yuck I dont think that thing could cool the pennies in my pocket

Rick James · 01-28-09, 02:29 PM

It actually cools very well

Dolk · 01-28-09, 02:50 PM

Well then you have proven me wrong. I hope it does just that for you.

btw it does look hot

Its all good dolk. I passed on it. Going to stay on air for now. Been making WAY too many big purchase's.

Need to slow down alittle

QuietIce · 01-29-09, 09:36 AM

I guess I'm just old-fashioned! Even after using the TRUE I still love ghetto WC over air ...

You should see my ghetto air cooling setup. Have you ever helped the airflow of your computer with a box fan? haha

thescavenger · 01-29-09, 02:25 PM

I am using a TRUE with a 7750 at 1.4V. It idles at 32 degrees and is at 45 degrees under load.
