Water cool or ALPHA 8045

[harbinger52]

Right now I am using a ALPHA 8045 on my 2200, KT3 ULtra ARU. I am getting a 6C difference between case temp and CPU temp 30deg case 36 deg cpu). Would It be worth it to go to a straight H2O set-up (no Pelt, I did that before)

nope no reason besides the cool factor (no pun intended)

edit: i don't see anywhere in your post you are running your processor at anything other than standard spec

damn, you're not happy woth 36? I'm at 52 idle, and that's with a swifty.

it would look cool though.

Depends on the cpu (instance, not model). What voltage & freq you running now? How well does it scale with voltage? How high can you POST at 1.8v? What kind of temps do you get at that voltage? It may be worth it...
