Help on cooling please

[Juggy]

Hi

I'm looking for cooling for my 146 Opteron

Current setup

GA-K8NS-Ultra-939
Skt 939 Opteron 146
Asus 7600GS Silent Pipe
4 x 512 DDR400

I'm looking at the following.

CPU Cooling - Asus Silent Square Pro
GFX Cooling - Zalman ZM80C-HP with Zalman ZM-OP1
NB Cooling - Themalright HR-05 Si

Any ideas or should I go water cooling and if so would the Gigabyte 3D II be sufficient?

Bump, anyone?

It gets so hot I can't touch it. My PC freezes sometimes and I think it's a result of that.

This is the card I have http://www.bluesting.co.za/asus/asus_geforce_7600gs_silent_256mb_1034.htm

You talking about the http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/LiquidCooling/Default.aspx ?

Is the Gigabyte Galaxy II any good?

yip you could also look at getting a box with good cooling like an aerocool zero degree

no point having all these fans sucking in hot air

yip its very good

Ordered the Galaxy II. What comes with it?

The salesperson told me you get the waterblocks for the GFX/CPU/NB

I already have the Aerocool Masstige. It's an upsidedown case so the Proc is under the GFX card. Heat is probably rising onto the card and making it overheat.

you need to add the extra

you should get a nb block and gfx extra

cpu should come with the galaxy but just confirm this

Received today, very excited.

CPU block came with Galaxy but the others I need to get seperately.

Should I be able to get the Gigabyte blocks or can I go for anything that fits?

Any help is appreciated as this is my first attempt at WC.

hahaha juggy just be very careful man

i dont much experience as i've never done it, just make sure nothing is leaking man

yes you can use any block as long as it works, which most should

Don't need to be too carefull. I'm looking for an excuse to upgrade, thing is I don't game on my PC so an upgrade is pretty pointless unless I blow the thing up.

Possibilities....

Thanks for the help
