Cooling

So, in recent times my CPU has been overheating. As per usual i took the side of my case off and gave the insides a darn good blast with some compressed air. All is going very well and the dust flies out of my Thermaltake Shark case, now comes the painful part. Somehow, im not entirely sure how i managed it, but i knocked my CPU cooler (stock cooler that came with my Q6600) and two of the legs snapped making it completely unable to hook on. So this leaves me with quite a predicament, do i just replace it with a standard air cooler? Or, do i go the whole hog and go for some water cooling?

Water cooling really appeals to me for the quiet side of things, so thats what im gonna go with. I've seen this; http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-028-SW

What do you think guys?

Now comes the tricky part, my motherboard is an ASUS P5N-E SLI and has the single largest northbridge cooler in the universe, do we reckon the aforementioned water cooler with fit?

Just buy a normal fan and quit the 1337 overclocking bullshite.

It's the best advice you'll get on this topic anywhere, kid.

Get a nice quiet Zalman fan... That Q6600 can hit 3.2~3.6Ghz with a decent fan no problem if you so choose though.

most PC cases have built in water cooling where the floppy drive goes as normal people dont use floppy drive so you just need to (CAREFULLY!!!) pour water in until you hear (or smell) sizzling which means the water cooling system is activating and you can sit back and enjoy your ultra high speed computing

pissing on it always works for me
