back to air or stay with water?? - Overclock.net

Well I am looking to get the e8400 soon and I am gonna either try and sell my amd chip and board or give it to my girl friend and make her a cheap computer.

So heres my problem, since those e8400 cant take much voltage, don't generate alot of heat and overclock to 4ghz on air. I don't think I'll be needing my water chiller along with my water cooling equipment.

Should I sell my water cooling block, pump, and res or just buy a radiator and go for water cooling for looks.

since they dont generate much heat i would say air... but start taking that e8400 to the extreme and you may need it

I would put the E8400 on water. If it loads under 45C, sell your gear and go back to air.

I dont wanna make a new thread for this but whats a good radiator? are those triple 120mm rads over kill?

Keep the water cooling in case you decide to go quad-core. They make a bit more heat.
