btw the way i saw reviews of hybrid evercool silver knight, i'm not to impressed...

its big and gigantic puts big stress on MoBo, unlike big typhoon, its a bit unstable grip on the back of the MoBo... i saw my friend with it...

The leak issue is a serious one. Having spilled distilled water on 2 componets, I can tell you it does not automatically mean death. Leak testing is a must.

For Conroe\Allendale, air cooling is more then enough to hit 3ghz. In the next couple days keep your eyes peeled for HL's Thermalright Ultra-120 review, this thing is an aircooling monster. Just messing around I actually ran my Core 2 Duo with no fan on it(not recommending this at all, just a fun fact, it was cool, like heat radiating off of pavement in the desert.)

I use water on my 24/7 rig and full load my Core 2 @ 3.2GHz is 37C, and that is after hours of %100 load.

www.dangerden.com is an excellent start if you want to go from scratch.

If you are worried about leaking, Danger Den has non-conductive floids you can use. I've tested them, and they work very well

<<<<< WHat is Cray II???

[Lead Head]

Cray 2 is a super computer,

Flourent is a non conduction liquid with a low freezing point...BUT! It costs something like $500 per gallon

[halutzparilla]

ah okay, so thats why those pics are bulky...

hehehe didn't recognized the super computer side of it...

Save cost and use vegetable oil.

Go with the DDC-12v pump, the other one is for 1/2 ID tubing and the DDC-12v makes less noise. Also make sure you specify for 3/8" fittings on the waterblock.

Don't buy MCT-40. Instead get a gallon of distilled water and a 4oz bottle of Zerex because it works better and is cheaper.

For hose clamps get these.
