Water cooling Core 2 Duo setup?! How?!!

[joshley]

Hello everyone,

I am building a new Core 2 Duo system, and wanted to go for the water cooling solution for the silence. I was about to buy a Zalman Reserator 2 when I spotted it said it supported socket 775 Pentium 4, but no mention of Core 2 Duo (I know it's the same socket, but it says Pentium 4 so I got scared!)?? Does this mean it won't cool Core 2 Duo socket 775 chips? I am so confused with all the water cooling stuff!!

If I buy the Zalman Reserator 2, can I buy another "block" for the cpu and plug it into the Reserator?

Is the Zalman Reserator 2 a good choice anyway?! I'm in the UK, just in case someone recommends something that isn't available here! Can anyone recommend a good setup for Core 2 Duo and water cooling? I hear custom water cooling is much better, but that's just a mammoth amount of learning and patience to get it all right!

Thanks in advance all!
Josh

Thanks, I'm glad you pointed me back at that review; I'd actually seen it in my review hunt earlier, but I've been looking at so many CPU, GPU, PSU, RAM, Case, HSF and water cooling and so many bloody other reviews over the last few weeks whilst trying to build this new system I have a habit of skipping through reviews! I didn't notice, he only mentions on page 3 in the middle what CPU he uses, a 6700, I'm only opting for a 6600, so should be fine!! Anyone got this setup?
