I'm looking to go watercooling...and my friend recomends the kit that he has... its an Iceberg II...anyways, hes a socket A and I'm 754. I cant find his kit with a Socket 754 waterblock, but he keeps telling me that it will fit. I've never heard this before, but he keeps saying the plastic things around the sockets that you attach the hsf to are the same...so, my question is...will a socket A waterblock fit a socket 754. I dont think it will, but then again, I might/prob am wrong. Thanks.
 
most 754 board use the two hole on either side of the cpu the socket A use four, one on each corner some 754 have the four hole i am not sure if these line up with the socket 462 holes.

also it looks to me as if the iceberg uses clamp style mounting for the socket A.

also i would look into a DIY water cooling kit the iceberg is really quiet but it doesn't have the performance of a full scale water cooling setup. if all you wan't is "good" temps and quiet then the iceberg should be alright but i bought an Aquirius II from thermaltake and i was never happy with it (the aqurius performance isn't really comparible to the iceberg though) i eventualy replaced all the parts and spent twice as much.
 
Then what would you recomend as a good kit. I've been looking around...and just dont know what to look for...Thanks a bunch
 
kits are not known for performing well. Its best that you make your own kit. My recommendations would be:

swiftech mcw6002 cpu block,
swiftech mcp350 pump with 1/2" adapters,
tygon tubing 1/2'",
fusion HL gpu block,
dual heatercore from freshcooling.com
hydrx additive

Buying parts are more expenisive then most kits but the performance is well worth it.
 
It all depends on the kit I think... Take the Aqua Comouter highend 360... Contents:

-Aquastream pump
-Airplex Evo 120x3 rad
-3 120mm papst ff4gl something (18db@12volts)
-Aquatube res
-tubing
-various connectors
-shroud thingy
-Additive

You can choose your CPU block, they come from 25 to 50 euros.

this kit is, imho, one of the, if not THE best out there. Beats most US systems I know.

The 350 pump is not very well suited for that setup compared to higher flow pumps. That system is very low restriction, the fusion HL and the 6002 are pretty low restriction blocks. You would benefit from a pump like the mcp650 that provides more flow but a little less head pressure.
 
Just build a kit with Danger Den (or Swiftech) parts. You can easily piece together the parts you'll need, get way better performance and many times spend less money.
 
There are plenty of kits out there that perform as well as alot of the DIY systems out there these days, you just have to know what to look for and what companies to buy from. I'm running a Alphacool Pro Xtreme 240 system on my second rig and it get just as good temps as I was getting with my custom system before I switched the custom system over to my A64 rig.
Just be extremely carefull buying the lowend/cheap kits.
