because my pump died, and looks like it took out an optie...not worth it, as the temps on air are so close. no fuss, no muss, just wires and fans

You are no longer hardcore man. Just wait, you'll be back!! I give ya 6 months. You just can't be happy with what you have for long.

i dunno. some of these heat pipe towers work great without fans, so i might just go that route. i'm real tired of spending $$$ atm though.

Don't they call them Phenom because if they beat an intel it's "Phenomimal"?

[stormrosson]

well I'm just doin it outta boredom ,very few of us do any desktop computing that even use a decent dual core up, I still detest Intel don't give a tinkers damn if your new kentsfield gets 900 more 3D 06 marks than me frankly who gives a piss

Hey Mo, not that i wouldn't like dual quads myself... but what the heck are you doing to need that kind of processing power. As a folder, I know I'd use all 8 cores. When it comes to folding, you've barely stuck a toe in the water. Inquiring minds and all???? I tend to agree that a TRUE on air tends to equal average water cooling. Rather than abandon water cooling, I'll be using a Thermochill PA120.2 and a Swiftech MCR 220 to bring temps down on a single Q6600 G0 clocked to 3.6. If that doesn't work, I may revert to air also. Good luck with the build. It sounds like fun!!!!
