is this okay?
Hey, I'm planning on watercooling my system, mostly my CPU, i don't like the temperature it's at right now, thought about buying a TEC cooler, but i dont see much difference..
I'm getting 60șC under load, Q6600 @ 3.6ghz at 1.4750V Planning to buy this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835118111 Think it's okay? I want to build my own watercooling kit, i also look up that thread, but i can't find tubings in newegg My budget is about 150 + shipping from newegg.. (I want to OC my q6600 to 3.8 Ghz) [also i might end up watercooling 2 x 8800 GTS0

You arn't going to want to go any higher of a voltage than that, and that temp is fine for that processor... Watercooling isnt going to allow you get get much higher than that if thats the lowest voltage you can do for 3.6GHz. After 3.6Ghz the voltage skyrockets on most Q6600s.
99% of of watercooling kits are worse than air, including that one.

if ur really only getting 60 load on full prime 95 small fft, then dont water cool. u will do better on water cooling, but i doubt u only reach 60c on nearly 1.5 volt if u run a small FFT on every core. In fact im willing to bet on it
