Yes water cools way better than any hsf and is almost noiseless. check out www.overclockers.com for very good articles, they have an excellent forum as well

Watercooling is a great way of cooling your processor, but it is not very cheap. You can buy sylver heatsink. It is good, but I don't think it will take down the temp. a lot (5-10C).Originally posted by Slougi

ok, i just played civilization 2 again (memories...), and it still overheats from that! do you think i might be doing something wrong? I may not have heavy-duty cooling (yet), but my current solution is not that bad. i dont think water-cooling is needed to play civilization 2...do i?

No you don't need watercooling usually. Do you have some thermal paste between your cpu and hsf? Do you have some case fans? Please post your setup in more detail.

im pretty sure i got thermal paste between my heat sink fan and cpu. i got 4 fans on my case, 2 in the back and 2 in the front. one in the front is sucking in air (with a filter on it to prevent dust) to allow better circulation. and one of the ones on the back is on the transformer, that might not count.
