CPU only, going to get a conroe e6600 and probably an ASUS P5W DH Deluxe.

Never dabbled in watercooling, suggestions welcome


Thanks all.

this is pretty much as good as kits get... the zalman reserator 1 comes close for a little less $$$. You can achieve better results by buying all the components separatly and installing it yourself, but you have never ventured into the rhealm of water cooling so this kit would serve you well!

hmmm I'm not sure if they are suited to the conroe based CPU's but I've had pretty good results with the thermaltake Aquarius 2 and Bigwater kits...good designs but they need a bigger radiator, although my standard Aquarius 2 allows me to hit 2.87ghz from my A64 3000+(E6 Venice) skt754, I can get 3.6ghz from my 3.06ghz Northwood P4

Ok..stay far away from the Tt kits..they are not good...in fact it has been reported they changed there pumps 3 times on the Big water

Swiftech is a nice kit

Try at Petras.. he has some custom kits..

email him for questions..nice guy

Best way to go WCing is to do some research..learn first..then decide if a kit is the way to go..often kits are compromise over 100% DIY

Nice Tutorial..
