none of those are really the wya to go...they are all basically junjky...beginner systems if i was you iw ould get the asetek kit or sumthing form DD Danger Den.
 
you dont need water cooling to oc your processor to 3.04, unless you have a real lemon, in which case cooling isnt your problem. see how far you can get on stock cooling first, then look into water.
 
first of all according to toms hardware Titan waterblock has the best waterblock. titan and evercool or kingwin whatever, shares same waterblocks. soo iwouldnt say ALL of them are crap.

second of all my friend has P4 2.8 OCed to 3.06 with temps 24°C using reserator

No...Titan has the best kit. Swiftech generally has the best wide market water block. The problem with kits like these is that they are packed with low yield components and offer little in the way of performance. It would appear that the Titan has decent WC performance.

your kidding right? before slaping one of those "watercooling kits" in one of my computers i would just get a good ole sp-94 with a nice tt smart fan and a fan controller and get better temps while saving some bucks.

what a joke.i knew there was a logical reason why i didnt visit toms site anymore, now i remeber.
go here if you want now about watercooling...
procooling

and here a lot of real reviews of kits and waterblocks.http://www.overclockers.com/

there is something very funny about a review in which a watercooling kit gets better performance running its fans a 7v than at 12v
