what are normal temps ?

But you see, the one Flops did wasnt a very expensive one, you know what the say you get what you pay for...
As for leaking, better hope you get it right the first time!!

damn right lol but of course what you pay for is what you get thats why my comps not cheap lol but for leaking wise you never know when a hose by start aspraying you know lol
 
Ahh, whats few dollors anyway? :p
you can get some pre made kits that have everything connected with the fluid in already, there is a good CPU kit for about 100$, Aquagate mini, which keeps the CPU at 60C full load with the fan turned all the way down.
 
Hmmmmm Sounds very interesting ill have to take a look thanks for the info. So literally if i have the money should i get water cooling is it so much greater?? i do have alot of fans and house isnt to hot but let me know thanks alf
 
Well for one its will be quiter if you get both a CPU and GPU water block, then you wont need all them case fans.
 
Noise isnt really a factor for me to be honest.. the comp i have now had a cpu heat sink and fan that was clogged so it made the fan go crazy and loud so i was used to loud noises got it fixed though. But noises isnt a factor. Case came with fans so i dont wnna just throw them away you know. But will water cooling be the next thing upgraders are gonna wanna do like ocing got so popular??
 
well consdering that when you OC you little CPU going to get pretty warm. thats why i had to get a Areo 7 lite or else i would be hittin 60+. I think people like the fact that its keeps you CPU cooler and it very quite solution most of the time.
 
is the areo 7 water cooling if so was ita easy set-up?? and i might have a few questions about thermal paste and if its messy and stuff.
 
Na, its not a water block, it just a fan that looks like a jet turbine!! as with and AMD fan/heatsink, i had little trouble installing it but, i had to remove the PSU before i could install it (it a little big).
as for thermal paste i recommend getting Artic Silver 5 and using no more than a pea sized drop (smaller acually),
 
Idont have thermal paste of any kind on my comp present the old beat up one would that make my computer hotter?? its reading right now at idle with a music player going 54c cpu and 39 case temp but i just recently put a temp fan in there as a intake would that help it :-P i dunno just wanted to say that and is thermal paste sticky or messy?? because my new amd is gonna have it pre applied.
 
nah its not very messy cause its not runny. also i highly suggest you get rid of the thermal Gunk that comes on most heat sinks that pre applied and put some Artic Silver 5, keeps things much cooler.
 
alright i think i just might buy a tube im gonna check if newegg has it they prob do. and i recommend you buy stuff from there. Thats where i got my case form free shippin that day very nice!!!!
