Water cooling is too costly when you already have a good rig. ------------------------- AMD64 3200/754 GEFORCE 6800 MB AOPEN AK86L VIA K8T800 1GB MUSHKIN PC3200 TURTLE BEACH SANTA CRUZ SOUND CARD ALTEC LANSING 641s 200W SPEAKERS

Of course if you have to cut up your nice case it's crying shame. ------------------------- asus P6T Del V2 w/i7 920 6g ddr3 1600 Sapphire HD5770 Win7 Ultimate 64-bit Smilodon case is STILL the best ever, ever, ever!!!

And if it is true, I'd certainly be doing some overclocing if I were you. ------------------------- AMD64 3500+ Newcastle Asus A8V Deluxe 2x512mb DDR400 ATI X850 Pro @ X850 XT NEC 3500 16x DVD 470W Enermax Noisetaker Viewsonic VP171b 17" 8ms LCD

Is the temp. that your telling us, is that what your H/W in the BIOS is telling you or are you monitoring it by an outside source? ------------------------- MSI K8N Diamond SLI Dual Asus 6800 Ultra Extremes FX55 Gskill TCCD 1 Gb memory PcPower and Cooling 510W SLI PSU VGA's on H2o Vaporchill LS Aquamark=103,172' ">http://arc.aquamark3.com/arc/arc_view.php?run=17619243 PcMark046340' ">http://service.futuremark.com/compare?pcm04=2818798 3Dmark05...10,813' ">http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=560570 3dmark03= <a href='http://servi

Of course if you have to cut up your nice case it's crying shame. Noise and dust were killing my last system!! DUST in the heat sink fins nearly killed my old T-bird............. As for cutting up your case............DID not have to........ The great thing about Koolance is the case has a water cooler integrated into it by the case MANUFACTURER.......... When I compare the Koolance external water cooler kit with the one PRE-installed in my gorgeous case .....I can see NO difference.........When the case is designed to have a water cooler included there IS NO cutting!! As for the temp I gave you...............................It wasn't REALLY under load... Wasn't Idle Either...... Load should probably be like 2 hrs with HALO 2 or FAR cry.....Instead of 20minutes...........but hey, my old air cooled ring was at 45C in that same time period............SO I at least was impressed..even if you giuys are not.... As for where I get the temp reading........The water heatsink siting on the cpu has a sensor attached........ NO its NOT the internal core cpu temp....but how many sensor REALLY measure CORE temp any way?? My intel box has a system temp monitor as well and it is also sitting on the space between the heatsink and cpu....

His cooling temps are great even overclocked to the point of bursting! ------------------------- asus P6T Del V2 w/i7 920 6g ddr3 1600 Sapphire HD5770 Win7 Ultimate 64-bit Smilodon case is STILL the best ever, ever, ever!!!
