    Prime95 is a small program that is used to torture the processor, I usually run it during burn-in tests overnight on new systems whilst monitoring the temperature to make sure that everything is stable.

      Yup I normally run memtest for 4 hours (used to check for errors with RAM), then Prime95 overnight and then 4 hours of 3D Mark 05 looped. If my pc is still alive after all that I am happy it's gonna handle everything thrown at it.

          btw, for a cooling system...im lookin for one with a external resivoir or whatever the term is, i want to be able to feed the tubes out of my case so i dont ahve all the stuff inside the case taking up more room...its already kinda cramped in there
          The zalman is a monster, no crap its big! If your gonna run external water cooling that might be the way to go. Ive heard horror stories about video cards and ram and even chip set heat sinks not letting the zalman fit. If you got a cube it definetly wont fit(without some smart thinking about the way your cube is layed out) you may have to shave some stuff, but not recommended. I have a zalman cnps7000b and it dropped temp on my P4 2.6 ht by 10 degrees.

              yea ive been lookin at the dimentions...dont think it woudl fit, i might have to redo some stuff in my case as it is...ive got a 120mm fan i may have to take out or something cuz as it is...its pressing against my GFX card...and i thinkt he 7800 gtx might be a bit bigger and thats gonna be a problem

                  I'm glad you started this topic - I'm about to build the same computer.

                  How much did you get your stuff for and where if you don't mind my asking?

                    As far as liquid cooling systems, im not the 1 to ask never dealt w/ it before. I dont know how handy you are but you might have to modify the cube casing itself. It might be cool too- and a one-of-a-kind! Do you have any pics of the cube w/ and w/out the cover(s)? Im seriously interested because i was gonna build 1 and i know what cooling issues they have....i was also planning on the 7800. I will help you and take your gear seriously! If anyone else has experience w/ cube cooling, please join in the fun!

                        This CPU fan is for both AMD and P4. http://www.compusa.com/products/prod...9406&pfp=srch1

                        It brought my p4 3.0 GHz from 50 c at idle to 32 c at idle.

                          Thats a sweet case! How far have you gotten in installation of everything?

                              So basically you want to replace the cooling system for cpu and that's it right? The pics you posted are in an empty case, do you have any digital pics to post of your current setup? Thanks
