Got the same problem with my P4 3.4HT, got rid of the stock HSF and got myself a Tt Polo 735 and Arctic Silver 5 which works wonder, well anyway try this link

Tried a fan with that?

Note that if you take the Tt Aquarious, it requires a specific case for compatability. There are a couple sub-100 solutions here: http://www.frozencpu.com/cgi-bin/fr...ing/se=Water Cooling Kits/mp=menu_search.html but its a very ambitious attempt to squeeze it under $100

my case is a crystal clear acrylic case. do you think that aquarius II is compatible with that case? here is a picture of it http://www.internetishop.com/product_detail.asp?main_cat_no=HW&sub_cat_no=01&item=CA-CRYSTAL

Not according to Tt it isnt I believe the Xaser cases are the only ones "deemed compatible" although it might just be a bunch of marketing hocus. Ive not done watercooling (only FA, FA+Peltier and Vapor) so i dunno

what about those electic peltiers, do think one of those could do the job in cooling the cpu. i've been seeing those around, saw one on ebay today for $75!

I wouldnt quite say eeeeeeeeverything

Peltiers are cool but unless you've got a super ultra beast fan on the other side of it you'll want to hook up a water or vapor unit otherwise it'll burn itself out heehee

i like frozenCPU.com's selection of watercooling stuff, but if i had enough money, i would watercool EVERYTHING! every tiny component

Why watercool if money isnt a concern? Watercooling, while much more effective than forced air cooling isnt that effective. If money's not an issue, vapor phase is the way to go
