Hey All, as i have been contiplanting for the past 6months i have been thinking of going to water cooled, i have a LGA775 P4 at 3.4ghz prescott core, and i have the zalman 7700 cooling it right now which does a fine job with the 120mm fan, it runs my p4 at 50C running CS:S at full graphics, and right when i close out CS:S it drops to 45C instantly and then goes quickly to a good idle temp of 39C or below depending on my room temperature, and my fan controller speeds. BUT i read in a magazine that my CPU cooler is the best cooler that can get the temps close to water cooled temps, SO i am assuming water cooling can get the temps even cooler...... i hope ..... i just recently purchased a Antec SOHO server case, and the bish is big, and i have seen this case turned to a water cooled rig by moving the top optical drive to the 2nd drive bay and putting the radiator at the top of the case with 2 fans blowing the hair through the radiator and out of the top of the case, and so then i could drop in 3.5" resivoir into the floppy area, sinse i dont run a floopy and then i could hide the pump behind the HDD rack, but anyway back to my real question, what would i be looking at for temps? i dont really do OCing even though my ABIT mobo w/ GURU help me if i want to, and if i do i would only push it to like 3.6 but my main concern is to cool my bish down and maybe possibly i would also cool my VGA with this setup too, but my primary concern is the CPU........... thanks for any and all info peoples ......................
