It comes with some weird white silicon stuff.

Its just standard cheap thermal paste, nothing unusual.

lol review of 9500 "Weighs 530g, just 80g over the max recommended 450g specified by Intel and AMD." how much does the ninja weigh...

The ninja weighs a surprisingly low 640g. The tuniq tower on the other hand weighs a more extreme 798g.

Never tried the ninja so im abit biased!

PS the tuniq is mega big

The Ninja is a pretty safe bet, as to the fan depends what you want

a) Silence - I had good results with the AKASA AMber 120mm

Sorry to hijack... Are the Akasa's better than the fan that comes with the Ninja then?

Dunno?

water, theres the answer to your question, nexXxos XP block, 120.2 Rad, and a decent pump/reservoir, potential for bigger loop in future as well

I don't see the point in watercooling a conroe, they run so cool anyway, it seems pointless unless you already have a WC set up!

My Titan Tuniq cools my Conroe fine - from personal use I'd reccomend one

Gashman · 21 Nov 2006 at 23:55

well for one, it would run even cooler, allow higher overclocking potential in theory and not be totally rediculously enormous like the cooler im using and the even more obserd tuniq tower and scythe ninja

Why does the size matter?
Some people just feel that the risk of water cooling is too great. I can't afford to replace my system when it leaks.
