Is my Corsair Hydro cool 200 going to be able to handle a vid card water block and still keep its cool? It keeps my P4 3.0 OC @3.65 at about 50 C under full load. Will it go up or stay there if I add a vga water block?

Wow, that's pretty high--50 degrees Celcius. Is your room temperature pretty high? With water, it should never get that high.

Anyways, on to your question. Yes, it will increase the temp if you add a GPU block--more so if you heavily OC your card.
 
Is 50C to high ?Its a P4 3.0 O.C.@3.65............. 45c at idle and 50c when hosting IL2 swrver with 16 flyers. CPU block says 32-38C depending on load.

Im geting a X800XT ...........when ever ! I wonder if I should just cool the NB and keep the fan on the VGA?

Well, I have 2.8E OC'ed to 3.42GHz. The Exos cools both the the CPU and the GPU which is also OC'ed to 435/360MHz.

Even so, my idle is around 29-33 and load is 36-37 C.

That's why I wanted to know if your room has enough ventilation. As long as your system is not unstable, it's all good though. :)
 
People before mentioning about Temps... look at the sig. His got abit. Your temp is just fine. Mine (3.2c @ 3.75ghz with 1.7v bios) reads up to 49c (GPU is cooled as well 9800pro). About same I would say. (AI7 here)
When I switched back and forth between abit and asus board, I consistantly got about 15-18c diff between 2 boards for load temp.
 
I hace Bios 24 I think.....
TYhere was som kind of temp reading fix in tat bios, but I have seen no diff...........

Should I add water block to X800XT(when I get iy) or the NB or both?
