Okay guys,
Wanna watercool my system. Posted a thread about this last spring but couldn't get the componenets together in time. This is the 2nd attempt.
Need a radiator--preferrably all copper. I'd like to run 3/8" ID hoses. Need a waterblock or I can fashion my own in the ME lab. Need a pump or I cn pick one up on ebay. Need a reservoir. Need some help (LOL!)
Looking to cook my 2.3 celery to its max of 3.06ghz on this board, then get a different board that will let me open it up to 4.6ghz@800 fsb, then ditch the bastard and get a REAL processor (probably p4, maybe ath xp).
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for the business.
Just from personal experiance, I would recomend getting the best radiator you can get. That is definatly the bottleneck on my system(single 120mm fan w/ copper tubeing), especially if you want to cool your graphics card, too. As for parts they are pretty cheap new online... a little over a $100.
Also, if you are trying to get the max out of you celeron... definatly look into a themo-electric peltier. Just make sure you can dicipate the additional wattage.

Theoretically this is not going to be better than a $80 stock athlon.
I don’t think this will happen even with phase cooling. Buy the time you spend $800 on a thermochill you could have just gotten a p4 EE.
Stop being a douch about this whole radiator thing, you can buy one online, I am sure you know, you can buy one in an auto parts store in town if you are up to a more DIY way to go. I believe I sent you the catalog (or link) of every single heat exchanger on the modern market. Out of all of the ones listed could you not find one that you liked.
I am selling a Danger Den RBX water block that you may be able to use. It is designed for a Athalon 64 but why shoudl that stop you. Look for the post that says Dangerden RBX
