I like to keep things cool............
Idle temps are just over room temp........

Hehehe. I've seen your "Watercooled" system many many many times before, sbrehm. And...it's always great to see it and get impressed over and over again... I'm speechless. 
Anyway, I'm currently using CoolerMaster Hyper 6+ Air Cooler to cool down my X2 3800+ CPU. |

Thanks all, I take a lot of pride in keeping the system clean. Seems that I'm always working on the thing also, so I guess that helps..........

I was curious. You got a lot of fans on the system. How is the noise level on it? |
I'm running all the fans at 6v so the noise level is pretty low. I have the option to crank them up to 12v if for any reason the room gets hoter during the summer months. Even with them turned up all the way the system is still quietier than my sons air cooled system.

What were your temps with aircooling?
I am currently looking for water cooling, but cant really find the right system. I tried one, but no go, only got like 3 degrees off.
What kind of case is that? |
I've never had thi rig on air cooling except for my video card for about a week. The temps I was getting on it OC'd to 550/1600 on air were 40c idle and 65c load with a room temp of around 22c. Now on water cooling the idle temp is 31c and load temps while benchmarking have beed as high as 35c. That's a pretty good drop.
The case is from Mountain Mods, it's called the U2 UFO.
