I am curious, what is a good water cooling kit for a heavily OC'ed E2180 for a few months and then eventually a Q9450? Any ideas would be great. Thanks!
 
if you want a kit check out :-

Swiftech H2O-220 Compact CPU Liquid Cool Kit

the 1 x 120 rad version would do you just fine for a e2180 but if you are planning on upgrading to a quad then go for this version. can be had for about 139 bux at newegg when they have it in stock, otherwise i usually see it for around 170.
 
Thanks, I noticed that one @ Petras. Quick additional question, is water cooling easy to install and what is the risk of water leaking into your case? Thank you for replying.

i connect the parts with some odd bits of left over tubing i have and leave it running for a day to make sure none of the parts are leaking, ive never had a problem with decent liquid cooling brand stuff, you just gotta use your brain and connect the tubing and clamps properly. if you're that worried about leaks you can use non conductive fluid which would be safer than regular fluid but its not totally non conductive. i get better temps with my 2 dollar bottle of swiftech hydrx fluid to mix with a litre of distilled water and it takes alot longer to cloud my tubing than say fluid xp.

those compact swiftech kits are stupidly easy to install, you just screw the cpu block to the motherboard with the backing plate then attach the rad to the case with the included radbox, piece of cake. then just attach the tubing and clamps etc. and with a setup that is only in 2 pieces you're not gonna have to worry about spending hours tossing and turning your case around bleeding the air out of the loop.
