Hey guys, im running a prescott processor (save your boos I dont wanna hear your Get an AMD poopness, I run more then games) and my Aquarius III isnt up to snuff, im still getting an idle of 43o.

What is the best watercooling system I can buy (kit, not custom) whats the setup like, and how much does it cost. More specifically, what will it cost with an adapter for LGA775 socket and a 800xt VGA adapter.
 
An idle of 43 C is not bad. My prescott at 4 GHz with 1.55v runs 46 C idle, 55 C load. I'm running a dangerden TDX, 1/2" tubing, DD12v-D4 pump, and dual 120mm heatercore. Prescotts, especially overclocked and overvolted, put out a lot of heat. The same processor at stock speeds (3.4 GHz) and volts only runs 37 C idle, 45 C load.
 
got a prescott 2.8e@ 3.5ghz @ 1.55v

its being cooled with

HDPE Resevoir
Dual 120mm Heatercore - DD
DangerDen TDX 478
DangerDen Maze4-GPU (on my x800xt)
Swiftech MCP650

never see above 42c under load (2xprime95 + atitool)

Ive been very pleased with my DangerDen Stuff, the swiftech MCP650 is the same as there D4 btw. Im also on a 478pin prescott c0 stepping which should be 5-10c hotter than yours
 
and you built a box for all that Big Taf? How would put togeather a system like that?
