yeah 300 is too much for the cooling system. i'd rather keep the CPU in the fridge my old desktop sounds like an airplane ready to take off and i don't need a heater in my room during winter time. it will take care of it for me. i probed once the cpu temp and i got a 14C temperature, but i guess one of the probes is messed up.

yea im sure one of the probes were messed up. Also it doesn't have to be 300 thats if you buy the kit online, you can build your own like i did it cost me a total of 68. you will need

A radator-I got mine from a junkyard a hold heatercore.

Tubing and fittings eg. hose clamps and 3/8 fittings- cost me about $10 at lowes

Waterblock- i used a becooling jagged edge at first and built my own hold down for it, however now i am using a swifttech waterblock that was $54 the becooling block was 30 but you will need to buy a hold down for it.

Resivor- i used a 4x4x4 underground electrical box from lowes for $8

Pump- maxijett 1200 (295gallons per hour) for 19.95 shipped and its been running 24/7 for 2 and half years.

And some quite fans to push the air through the raditor.

If you have some knowldge with computers you should be alright. And how quiet it will be will amaze you.

I'm OSUmaxx on there. Are you a member also?

That's a great price. I was more talking about buying the junk online, using W/C special purpose junk. You can build a great setup for cheaper, but $68 is great!

I've just started learning about the W/C thing, but I think I'll be doing it soon.

im drdingo21 on there also. When i joind last year sometime i did watercooling shortly after it was actually easier then i thought it was. I hardly ever post there anymore since its summer but ill be back in winter. you can post here or there if you have a question. When i first joined there just over 6000 members there, now there are over 23000 and when i did watercooling there were like 3 people that had it, but now there are articles every and howtos so its a lot easier. Good luck

Here's how it worked out. D/L'd the ISOs, verified MD5 checksums, proceded to install. This install is on the 2nd HD in the system, with the first running Win XP home. I partitioned the 2nd drive, giving the swap partition around 512MB, and the rest to the Linux system. Install goes great, everything is easy.

I reboot, and get A BUNCH OF 07 07 07 07 across the screen and nothing else. Looks like I'm going to have to wipe out everything and start over. I'm really pissed, but at least I backed up to another computer first.

Well, someone recommended a fix w/o wiping everything, so I'm going to try it:


"i had the same problem....first reinstall mandrake in expert mode and get a bootdisk made for linux...then boot off the xp cd and go to recovery tools and say 'fixmbr' 'fixboot' now your default os should be winxp and linux will be run when you boot off the floppy"

I can't get into the recovery thing because it won't take my admin pwd. I've tried everything I know, including no pwd, and it just won't work. This is really killing me here.

It didn't give me a choice. I'm writing this from within Mandrake, I can get here by booting a floppy. It will let me configure the boot loader, but it just tells me that there are conflicts with LILO. Do you know how I would go about choosing Grub?
