i personally do, only for my video card though, because im too lazy for my CPU, and besides its an AMD , so it doesnt generate that much heat in the first place. i use the Thermal Take Tidewater all in one VGA kit. it was easy and it works well. i cant afford a 1,000 liquid cooling kit that cools every single component, so this 70 buck option was just fine by me.

Just ordered it from newegg thanks for the link. I too am running an oc'd AMD cpu, and with my xp-90c /vantec tornado heat just isn't an issue with my processor. My oc'd vga Atix850xtpe) artifacts at temps over 60 C (ts running 580/1200) I am hoping to squeeze some more fps out of it.

nice, im glad i could help you out. its a great product, granted, it didnt fit into my motherboard (its fuckin huge, in the picture it looks huge, but its even bigger.) , so i just made a custom braket for it and mounted it sideways in my case. its quiet on the low fan setting, but on the high settting, it sounds like a blowdryer. it really helped me overclock though. for a 70 buck all in one water cooling system, its great.

i'm not running water cooling. but i've been thinking about it. anything above 1.6 Vcore is too much for the big typhoon to handle.

_{once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.}

Koolance Exos, cooling CPU/GPU. Only problem with watercooling is that it takes a bit longer to change components. Other than that, water is the way.

water cooling sucks, too expensive, if you want exotic cooling, go get phase change, dont get cheapo crap water. tuniq tower for me is good enough

I did watercool with my amd rig and now im waiting for my parts to come in for water cooling on my core2duo rig. swiftech storm, maze4,dd d5, dual heatercore. on my amd rig cpu temp rose 5 deg max on cpu stressing. giving me 38degrees celcius on max temps.

Water cooling is the SHIT! I use it and love every minute. No more air cooling for me. Nope when my PC gets hot i just spray it down with the garden hose and it cools rite off.

Truth be told I use a thermaltake kit. It fits into my armor case great and lowered the temp on my cpu about 20 degrees. Never had a leak of any kind in over a year. I do have to add water every now and then but still not an issue because that is easy to do. If you have an IQ over 2 i would get on a kit. The fact is air cooling on some of these new Intel chip's is not going to cut it. At least not for gaming. If you want to run a new core 2 or something like that overclocked then I would say it is required to get the high numbers and stability. my .02

I do. Been doing it since I had my P3 700MHz overclocked to 1GHz.

I got the Zalman Reserator 1 and it keeps my crappy prescott p4 cooler than any fan could plus it looks kindof funky - a cross between fancy radiator and unexploded WW2 bomb

No, it's overkill to use water cooling on a laptop

I use watercooling (BigWater SE, and Zalman GPU waterblock). Its OK, but there are much better watercooling solutions than the Thermaltake...

Ive got a X2 4200 OC'd to 2.8Ghz with 1.5Vcore and full dual prime95 load peaks at 40 degrees celsius..

yes, its pwnsauce	28%	28% - 18
no, im scared something will go wrong	53%	53% - 34
you can cool your computer with water? wtf?	18%	18% - 12
