    Right now im planning to buy a watercooling system for about 350$, im wondering what would be best option for my pc. I have a AMD 3200+ 2.01 GHz Socket 939, but im planning to overclock it until I get a new processer which is a AMD 5200+ X2 AM2 socket. I do not want to get with air cooling. Also maybe a kit that you guys could pick thats compatiable with my video card which is a ATI All in Wonder x1800 XL. Im thinking about picking this one http://www.frozencpu.com/products/2365/ex-....html?tl=g30c83 which is suppose to be very good, but i think the instructions are in german and this is my first water cooling system for me to install. Or i was thinking this one http://www.frozencpu.com/products/2398/ex-...c83&id=IcPtptCf which seems easy to install and not much maitnence (sp?)

    Thanks

    Don't get that expensive processor, get a Core 2 Duo.
    You'll need a new motherboard anyway for the 5200, so why not step up to C2D?
    anyway, check out this cooler:

    For 350$ you can get a very well made watercooling setup over at http://www.dangerden.com/
    If you don't know what you're looking for then ask on the forums, the owner of DD is active on the forums and will be more than happy to help you figure what setup will best fit your setup.

    I did look over at danger den, for a bit but the temps with other kits are better and also i really do not want to get a intel 2 duo because of the costs, i found the AMD 5200+ for like 280$ on a site lol and im getting it with another motherboard. The Zalman i perfer not to get mainly becuase it is external and doesnt keep it as cool as the 2 i listed, but ill think about danger den again with thier customizable kit which i did look at a while back. Those 2 i listed were suppose to be the best for 325 i think, the Innovatek SET XXD Watercooling Kit is like the best you can get and you can upgrade later for more water blocks, and the CoolIT Freezone its the best one ive seen so far but its expensive for a cpu only cooler.
