water coolers are awesome for cooling cpu's, probably best thing around, although sometimes complicated, but you gotta remember you dont need one unless you overclock or are required to use one.

This (http://www.overclock.co.uk/customer/product.php?productid=17239&cat=) seems like an ok system... awfully close to the price of a good new CPU tho :(

yar i want some kind of... well any kind of cooling that costs 200$ or less and gives me 30c or less for temps. if anyone knows a peltier system thats that cheap let me know :D. i found a wicked cooling system for 100$, but it has a weak pump so it isent that great.

Your never going to find "cheap" pelt cooling. If you do let me know!

Peltiers are terribly inefficient...that being said I use them myself simply because they about the easiest form of sub-ambient cooling. :D

Building a system yourself will be the cheapest. Check out www.dtekcustoms.com/

Dont waste your time with koolance.

Build your own and you will get 2x the performance for 1/2 the price.

That WILL blow any pre-built kit right out of the water. Notice the price?

fool! you trying to break it.


First get an airtight bag, then a big thing full of cold water. Put it in there and just top up with Ice every hour or so.

ya and don't worry about the condensation, it'll make your cpu run faster by increasing the conductivity of it.
