About LinkBacksthinking about getting an alternative form of cooling(other than air).
it water cooling a good idea? any alternatives?
how easy is it to install water cooling if it is the best option and where would I start?

I do know everything, just not all at once. It's a virtual memory problem.
In what sense? Waterblock mounting doesn't look that bad, but you've got to find space for things like rads, reservoirs and pumps...

have only ever used normal fans before to cool pc. Would use water cooling for cpu & maybe anything else that can be cooled but bit aprehensive about installing it as never tried it before.Originally Posted by Kez
I have also heard about phase change, is it expensive and how effective is it.
really want the most effective form of cooling and I've also heard that water etc is quieter.
ideas of prices for kits as well if poss.

Water is quieter & is the most efficient imo because you can cool your processor, graphics & northbridge giving you a nice stable system. It's easy to setup with a wealth of info out there.
Vapour phase is hardcore, giving massive overclocks, if u dont mind spending a bit more cash & u can live with sitting next to a fridge
Watercooling, abt £200 for a full setup, less if u go 2nd hand
Vapour phase, £400-£500+

Alitle off topic but... I belive I have reached the max on my CPU, so water cooling wouldnt help. So is there a point to water cooling for me? let alone phase change!
Nope, i don't think so, that's one helova overclock dude
Watercooling took my FX51 from 212 Hyper Transport Bus to 225. But it runs whisper quiet........and it looks cool

These guys say My P4 can do 4Ghz on air!!! Thanks to them I hit my OC easy! When I try to take it higher it wont boot.... So I dont belive its temp related!
They told me since I have the D1 revision it can go even higher!!
