Watercooling and a P4 Northwood. Anyone doing it?

I just got done putting together my new P4 1.8A system, and I don't like the temps that I'm getting for the CPU and case during full load. Here's what I have setup so far, and i'm looking to convert it to a watercooled solution.

Current system:
Lian Li USB-68 Case (with the front 2x80 fans on high, 1 exhaust fan under PSU)
Abit TH7II Motherboard
P4 1.8A Northwood
Visiontek GeForce 3.

At full load, I'm running around 56-57C with case temps in the 40's. I'd like to drop those down a bit and I figured Watercooling would do the job. The thing is though, that for all the watercooling solutions I have seen, none have solutions for the Northwood CPU waterblock. Anyone have any suggestions as to what I should use??

Thank you,

I went to Innovatek's website and nowhere could I find a part number for it. Hopefully the authors will be able to get in touch with me as to where I could get it. I'm thinking about getting a Koolance case, and replacing the waterblock with the Northwood block from Innovatek.

Thanks for the reply, but I'd like to hear from other people as well. Anyone??? Bueller???

 
Northwoods are socket 478. Any waterblock for socket 478 will work with the Northwood. Dangerden makes socket 478 waterblocks along with many other manufacturers.
