water cooling first time help please

[thecat666]

a big hi to all,


socket 775
motherboard asrock penryn 1600sli-110db
cpu pentium 4 model number 630 3ghz 800mhz 2mb prescott
ram 667 ddr2 2gb x1
maxtor 250
graphics card nvidia geforce 7300 se/7200 gs
cooling artic pro 7. idle temp 42c load temp 52-53.
voltage, cpu-z says 1.464-1.496
voltage, vtt 1.375
voltage, dram 1.85
voltage chipset 1.250
overclocked to 3.9 at the moment,15 x 260


i all so have pentuim d 830 2.8gz 800mhz 2mb smithfield,and
pentuim 530 3ghz 800mhz 1mb prescott. im not sure wich one i
should be using for clocking so if any one has an idea please say.


1st do i have to have seperate Reservoir and pump or can i get a pump Reservoir,
eg XSPC Bay Pump Reservoir - Clear

parts list.
cpu blocks

CPU Waterblock OCZ Hydroflow HF-MK1 CPU Waterblock £29.07

cpu EK Supreme LT CPU Waterblock for Intel 775 & 1366 £35.99


radiator


Swiftech 1 x 120mm Radiator with Reservoir : MCR120-QP-RES £ 23.49

Swiftech 2 x 120mm Radiator with Reservoir : MCR220-QP-RES £ 39.99

can you also tell me what size make model pipes to use? fluid i should try
i know every one has their favourites so please say.

thanks for taking the time to offer any help and advice,thank you in advance.
i have joined a few other forums so i will be putting this on those as well,im
a proper newb to water cooling so if i ask a daft one please be gentle.

OK - that's a very unusual hardware setup.

The 530 and 630 are both single-core and the 630 will run quite cool for a Prescott, but the 830 is one of the hottest running CPUs ever made (second only to the infamous 820, which could quite literally boil water).

The motherboard is an NVidia 650i chipset, which is also known for it's hot-running Northbridge

Before you spend a lot of money on water cooling, what do you want out of the PC?

£63 spent an E5200 would give you a much faster, much cooler running system than you currently have.

Once you've got a cool-running CPU, you could look to something like a Zalman Reserator 1 kit to cool both the CPU and the Northbridge (use a Swiftech MCW30 chipset cooler). That Zalman kit comes with everything you need to start water-cooling, and the later block/pump combination is very good indeed.

That would give you a stable Northbridge for overclocking and near as darn it, utter silence. If the graphics card has a noisy fan on it, there is a GPU water block in the kit too.

I have to say that unless something about your current setup is driving you mad eg. noisy, water-cooling is total overkill for that spec. PC and you won't see the benefit.
