Water Cooling a Mobile 2600

[CHarrington]

I'm getting a mobile 2600 cpu soon and plan to overclock it to hell and back - rather, hell without the heat.

I've never installed water cooling before, and I'm not familiar with any quality brands. Any suggestion?

And what is this phase-shift cooling I've heard of? How does it compare to quality water cooling?

Try Dangerden for water cooling equipment.

Phase change cooling will be able to lower cpu temps to below ambient making it much more effective then water cooling. I suggest going to some overclocking sites like Overclockers.com and asking the pro's.

Decent water cooling will cost about 250$, phase change solutions start at about 500$ (but they include the case). With water cooling on a 2600 you'd prolly see up to 2.7 ghz with some generous voltage. On phase change you would likely see 3.0 or higher (prolly require a volt mod).

If I purchase a water cooling system, will I be able to use any of the parts (or the entire system) on future processors?

It depends on which block you get for instance the Dander Den RBX has a brass top that you can buy seperatly that will fit a64 processors. But it will cost you extra.

Yes, you can use the tubes, radiator, reservoir, basically everything besides the water block in a future system.

You'd just need to buy a new waterblock for about 50 dollars and you'd be good to go.

phase change is rather exotic cooling, and it cools much better than watercooling for a much higher price.

That mobile 2600+ will blow everything else out of the water (heh) with watercooling, so I don't really see a need to spend hundreds and hundreds on phase change...plus, you don't have to worry about condensation with watercooling (unless you're using a peltier)
