I dont know a thing about Water Cooling, but using AIR only, I can take my 3.4GHZ P4 to 3.94 stable and temps are only 29-31 idle, 45-47 LOADED. Im looking for a Complete water cooling kit that does CPU,GPU, and NORTHBRIDGE. Im looking for temps to be in the 20's @ idle, and 30 LOADed. IS THIS POSSIBLE using water? If so, please give me a website so i can buy it ASAP!!! thanks alot
 
Those are pretty low temps, where do you live?

And yes, the koolance EXOS has support for all three. You can order it just about anywhere, I got mine from xoxide.com
 
I use a koolance setup but............. dont expect those temps from a koolance setup with that high of an overclock, I like my koolance alot but I would never expect those temps at that high of an overclock :D you would be better off getting something form Dangerden :D
 
Can someone please do this for me: Go to dangerdens website, and pick out everything I would need to possible achive my temp goal. I looked at the website, but got lost when I started piecing together "the ultimate gaming water cooling kit" I would greatly appricate it.
 
No matter if you love or hate the koolance, you cant deny that it will not handle the heat load from a overclocked Intel 3.4 AND GPU AND northbridge. I bet your temps will go up if you use the koolance.

Something from Dangerden (www.dangerden.com) or Dtek (www.dtekcustoms.com) would work ok for what you have in mind. To lower the temps as much as you are looking for, I would get at least a double heatercore or radiator (for 2x 120mm fans like the Black Ice Xtreme II or the dangerden dual heatercore), a high quality pump like the 12volt D4, a TDX CPU block, and Maze4 NB and GPU block. That would set you up very nicely.

What mobo are you using? Room temperaures are in the 20's C, so I highly doubt you are getting completly accurate results from your motherboard, especially for such a toasty processor like the 3.4 overclocked like that. Either that or a misplaced temp probe.

Regardless, something from Dangerden will keep your idle temps low, and substantially lower those load temps. A 20 degree jump from idle to load is a lot, which isn't the best for the processor. Watercooling will help you control those temps, as well as being generally nifty.

Good luck!

How about this:

Dangerden TDX for intel 478 w/ Lucite top $53
Maze4 Chipset for intel hooks (if your mobo has hooks. If mounting holes, get the normal one) $42.50
1/2 fittings
Double heatercore $35
2 Evercool 120mm fans $24
No peltier or neoprene
D4 12Volt pump $75 (also look at Eheim 1250 for 1/2'' system, but not as good compared to D4)
10Ft Clearflex tubing 12$
No reservoir (use a T line)
4oz. Zerex coolant $4.50
Stainless hold down
12 hoseclamps, Y and T fitting $9.00

Total: ~260 with discount

Not too bad, but then you have to figure out how to put it all together....

Considering what he posted, his idle temps are around 30ish already, what's his ambient temps? If they're around 20-ish, shouldn't the koolance somewhat be able to keep up? I agree that a custom kit will produce better results, but from the enviroment that he posted, I think the exos might meet his standards, while providing ease of installation.
 
I would get two 1977 Bonneville heater cores instead of a Black Ice or something similar. At $17.99 ea plus another $20 or so for 120mm fans and materials for a shroud, you can make your own and quite possibly achieve the temps you are wanting. You could have one HC for your CPU and NB, the other for your GPU. glcg2000 will be posting a guide shortly explaining in detail how he made his HC and shroud. He gets very low temps and only has one HC. I think with top quality parts you can achieve those temps.

Click to expand...

The Koolance might to be able to keep up with just a processor, but not an added GPU and NB block. Just because his temps are already low, it doesn't mean using a koolance will lower them even more. My experience (and MANY others as well) have shown the koolance falls slightly better than air cooling when using a stock processor, and much worse when using a full WC loop. The koolance simply can not achieve the proper flowrates and dissapation rate than a DIY kit with a dual radiator and a decent waterblock and pump. For a comperable price, I'll take the looks and performance of a DIY.

(P.S. lets please not let this become a koolance/DIY bashing thread like so many before...)
