    Water and puters don't mix...If you wanted a faster cpu, then buy a faster cpu.

      $200 to overclock 1.8 to 2.4 ?? wasted money.

          Don't forget to run it for 24 hours before putting everything in, to make sure there's no leaking. Also get non-conductive fluid so you don't damage anything.

            I don't have a water cooling myself, but I asemble PC's and place some watercoolings by now.

            Never had any problems with it !!!!!!

            But do not expect extreem cooling power of those things, they cool a bit better then most aircoolers , main advantage is they are quit, don't know the system you have ordered.

            The custom kits are most of the time better, you have many sites where you can order a radiator you want, some silicon tubes and the coolblocks you want (CPU/GPU).

            For cooling liquid, just use those special cooling liquid they offer or deminiralised water, this is non conductive and you can spill it all over your pc as much you want without any damage, if you want you can even fill your pc with it (exept the hard discs)

              Did anyone else see the guy that submerged his entire computer in veggie oil? Apparently makes a great coolant.

                $200 to overclock a 1.8 to a 2.4.....yes, and then when i buy my next CPU, and then my next, and the next and so on and so forth.... wasted money? no. Investment? yes.

                EDIT: and by the way i now have a 2.0GHz AMD Athlon64 3200+

                      Ok i fitted one of these into a clients machine tsted it it for 24 hours put the liqued in that doesnt conduct to anything.

                      BUT when i gave tha machine back to the client the thing just failed to work. And when it did the heat from the components cause some pipes to split or stretch. AND yes i followed the manual. If you want to go faster buy a faster component!!!
