hi, is it worth watercooling an E8400, some 775 mobo and a 4850 ?

i've got all the stuff laying around.

and wat can i overclock the E8400 to ?

its @ 3.0GHz may be 4.5GHz ???

Its kind of expensive to watercool. If you can for cheap why not.

if your on a budget, hit the f/s thread, classifieds, etc. If money is no concern, why not wc your sig rig? Its a higher end system and is more deserving to water cool it imo. btw, to save some money on the gpu, go w/ a universal gpu block. same for the mobo chips.

I'd be hesitant to spend a lot of money on the block for the card, but the rest of the stuff can be reused. Depending on the mb, I'd rather buy a or custom make a dice pot and bench it.

i have everything to water cool the card, mobo and the GPU. just need a reservoir.

so i should get good temps on 1x120mm rad ???

I hit 65c with sig rig. water cooling for a cool running chip is not worth it.

just get a good air cooler or h70/50 for cpu and 4850.

1x120mm rad?
H50 is that, just cheaper and easier to install.

If you're willing to run 3k RPM fans.
