    So, guys, I want to do a Core i7 build. I can't find any CPU coolers though.

    Any help?

    navskin,
    The difference would only be noticeable if you used the new tech 780G motherboards, otherwise it would be about the same as any Old (?) Tech AM2 MB.

    Here's the link to The New AMD Building Thread!

    Best Regards,

    I'll just order the Thermalright Bolt Through kit for the LGA1366 platform.

    I was going to say, I'd be surprised if existing popular coolers didn't just come out with adapters for the new socket.

    I think that would only work with coolers with a large enough heatsink surface to cover the chip, as it's physically a good bit larger. With many of the present day coolers an adapter wouldn't work!

    Tower coolers like the Ultra-120 have very big bases so they can fit with AMDs, It surprised me just how much bigger my X2 4200+ was than an Intel 775 chip!

    Good for creaky changing that pic to a link - don't you guys have little graphics programs that can scale your pics to 800 pixels wide? (shaff) LOL (sam let shaff load that little program I sent you.)

    Ok, Russ, you've got admin's blessing - see you later, dude. Hey, you came back - good!! So did we all finally decide to buy Chevrolets, or was it Pontiacs??? Or is it somewhat of a personal choice. Greeny said to behave, that sounds good to me. Definitely, overclocking is wayyyyy not for everybody - "12 clicks is all it takes" - 12 clicks to the unitiated and untrained cause the entire thing to go up in smoke. LOL

    And as for Rick, let me get the hell out of the way when he takes a wuss - 10 to 15 feet - do you have a pump on the thing!! :D

    I agree whole heartily with only perhaps one small exception. If the OP asks about graphic card speeds then members should answer it. If they are interested in overclocking then they should be redirected to the overclocking thread.

    This thread has become a slow moving chat room dedicated to a few and that can turn away someone who is really looking for help away.

    Wow, price looks good! I wonder what the thermal transfer capability of that device is, which I guess would be watts of cooling, the reliability, and the noise from the fans. And what exactly happens when temps get too high - they mention some kind of warning. What cards would you be trying to cool?

    Rick

    Are you looking to water cool a couple of graphics card GPUs' in Xfire or SLI? If not then it's not what you are looking for because it's a closed system that is not meant for processors.

    I kinda mis read it at 1st, thought it was 4 CPU
    Depending on where U live for shipping
    Me I Live in Florida so if I order from CompUSA or TigerDirect they charge me freight & salesTax. Now if I order from Global which is the same Company and Warehouse up NYAK Way, Land of Mickey-Ds, their is no Tax

    That's OK Rick we all overlook things at one time or another, that's why we ask questions in forums. CoolerMaster does indeed make a closed CPU water cooling kit that is not too bad and affordable.

    I also live in Florida and I order parts from this site when I need them.
