its incompatable with LGA 775 so it wont fit unless you mod or change the block
id ditch it, if you are okay with that give me a budget and ill hook you up with a nice setup

Its a bad set up. You wont get any exceptional kits unless it is from an online shop that offers a 'kit offer' comprised of separate components.

Good things to look for are

D-tek fusion, Apogge GTX or the EK supreme water blocks
Swiftech or thermo chill radiators
DDC or D5 pumps
Swiftech microres is popular too

If your looking at somthing cheap and easy than the only kit i would suggest is the swiftech compact kit

Well it depends, a liquid cooling setup can cool the CPU, Video Card(s), Chipset, RAM, Hard Drive, and more. Or it can be very basic and only cool the processor.

You should still have case fans to circulate air around other hot components in the case though.

I'd prefer to talk here, since I don't use MSN/AIM much at all, and this way others can see what the solution is.

Now are you looking for just the CPU cooler itself, or for a complete liquid cooling kit? And if you are looking for a kit, are you looking for a basic one which cools just 1-2 devices, or a more complex one?

There are so many to choose from. I would recommend checking out www.frozencpu.com, they have a large variety of kits and parts for a custom build.

You can buy better parts by buying everything individually, as well as customizing everything. However I've found that there are kits out there in the $100 range, however if you buy the parts yourself you're looking at least $200 for all the necessary parts.
