Liquid Cooling for my cpu

[Machin3]

I was thinking about water cooling my cpu. Currently, the temp. is at about 50 degrees celcius. I wanted to lower the temperature on it to make it cooler.

The liquid cooler i picked out is this one:

Any feedback would be great.

yea sure that looks good. make sure you lap it to a mirrored finish, and try out arctic cooling's MX-2 thermal compound.

I got the Big Water 735, and love it, I got better tubing and coolant though.

Ok. Thanks for the advice everyone.

If you give OMEGA a PM about this, I'm sure he'll tell you everything you need to know about liquid cooling.

dont ever lap a cpu waterblock, they're made to have a bow in them, and if you lap them, there is a good chance you could ruin the waterblock

I'm not going to do anything fancy to it. I just want to install one to keep my cpu cool.

You can try to re seat the block. But you can't expect much out of a kit.
