Hi there,

I have a couple of questions. I just got rid of my Pentium III 800 with my Alpha PEP66 Heatsink and the 80 Watt Peltier. Reason for that : it was a S3Y2 cB0 piece of **** and it just wouldn't go any higher than about 982MHZ.

I am planing on buying a new cC0 rated CPU from http://cpusforless.safeshopper.com or http://www.outsideloop.com/.

The rest of my Hardware Configuraition is as follows :
Asus CUSL2 Motherboard
Apacer 5.4ns PC133 256MB Dimm with ECC
Elsa Gladiac 32MB DDR Ram
IBM Deskstar GXP75 45GB Harddrive
All of that is in SuperMicro Case with 5 Case Coolers, both main chips on the Mobo are cooled with heatsink and fan, the IBM Harddrive has a cooler and I upgraded my Elsa Gladiac with Heatsinks for the rams and a new Heatsink and Fan for the GPU (as you can see in the picture).

Now I am planing on utilizing a water cooling System for the new CPU with a 152 Watt Peltier cooler (I have an 450 Watt Enermax Power Supply, so it'll handle the Peltier). Watt CPU would be best suited for a system like this ? Please respond with any suggestions you might have. Any and all Input is greatly appreciated since I haven't bought any of the Hardware yet I am 100% flexible with what I will end up using !

Thanks for your help and a happy new year to everybody !

Timo
 
yup take the 700 or 750 anything more is a waste and you risk not hitting 133fsb and have problems with a high PCI speed
