Water cooling for AMD 3800+ x2

[lotech]

Hey all!
Kinda new around here, some of you may have met me Well as the thread title suggests, i'm looking into a liquid cooling system for an AMD 3800+ dual core. I'd just really like some advice really...

I'm kinda new to modding, but my component knoledge etc is pretty good. Thought this would made an alright entry Anywhos, do I get a kit (and if so maybe which one?) or do I put my own kit together (and if so which parts are recommended?). Thanks in advance!

the question is why are you using water cooling? If for overclocking go with a good setup from DangerDen.com otherwise you're pretty much wasting your money. If you've just got loads of cash laying around first off send some my way ;-) then a premade system would work out. If you'd like I would be happy to suggest some components for you but it would be best if I knew your ambitions because I can save you some money, or just go all out and chill that CPU to about 1 degree Celcius (you'll need a pretty powerful power supply for this as you'll need a Peltier setup which will drain about 150-250 watts off your system depending upon what you go with)

Well I went and did my research and have bought an XSPC X20 kit, which has like everything I need for now to just cool the CPU. I'm gunna see how well that goes, was £72 in total but suppose to be £80 and I read some reviews and they all seemed to be really supprised by how well it worked. Anyway, can't go wrong for that price and if it's crap, I don't really care. I'll report back what I find, should be interesting Thanks guys,

sounds good... doesn't look great for overclocking, but just for cooling your CPU I'm sure it'll do fine.
