I have a P4 550 socket 775 3.4ghz

it gets pritty hot where i live, and my idle temp is 50c and load is 71c, this is with arctic silver 5 and a thermal take blue orb 2. i want to get this water cooling kit, anyone know if its good? what temps would i get from it?

Looks okay--hard to know without knowing what waterblock that really is under that plate...

 

[Pacman]

seems right.... but i think one radiator won't be enough... maybe another one... because 50c idle and 71c load is very hot for you cpu... let us know when you install it...

I've noticed that the fan makes 30db and max airflow is 60CFM, you should by the Thermaltake Thunderblade...

70CFM and 20db

with blue leds

You live in Australia. That means you are obligated to support your local watercooling manufacture Silverprop.

would it keep my cpu under 56c at load? cuase my load temp goal is 56c

 

[metalkobra]

depends on ambient temp...

 

[Zyther]

how do i get ambient temp, that the temp in my case?

cuase in asus pc probe it says my motherbaord temp is 47c at load

 

[Zyther]

and i dont overclock

Uh, ambient temp is the room temp which your computer is in. The PC probe readout your saying is your northbridge temp, not ambient temp.

I would think that would get you to your goal, though it doesn't look like a very good water kit to be honest.

I checked the overclockers.com ranking page, and it shows surprisingly good performance for an entry level kit--about 1/3 from the top. If you go to their ranking page, it shows you how to calculate your own temps:

Hope this helps, and stay cool.

my room temp is 30c because its summer here, and i put a thermoniter and ran a tortue test and the thermoniter is saying the temp in my case is 43c, i have 1 12cm fan at the frount for intake, 9c at the side for intake, and a 12cm fan on the back for intake, 8cm one on my psu for intake and 8cm one on the psu for outtake.

Hmmm... that sounds a bit unbalanced to me--much more intake than exhaust. If so, you're trying to blow up your case like a balloon, and not moving much air.

You might try switching one or more fans to exhaust, and see what happens--I suggest the rear.

HTH, and stay cool.

I concur with DrDeville. You want about the same going in as going out. And if you can't have the same have more going out.

You should have the front and side as intakes and the rear and psu as blowing out. And if you have a top fan (blow hole) that should be blowing out as well.

opps heres the correct thing,
psu with 2 8cm exhaust
1 12cm exhaust at the back
9cm intake at side
12cm intake at forunt

That's more like it.
