Water cool or new heatsink?

[xtkxwow]

So I built a computer for Christmas, these are the specs
Gigabyte EP45 mobo
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3.00 GHz
ATI Radeon HD 3870 (I know :/)
PNY 2GBx2 PC2-6400
And some NZXT case, it fits pretty much anything you throw at it.. I used it for water cooling, but the cooler broke on me :/

So, its crashed on me while playing wow longer than 2 hours when over clocking
Runs fine with out over clocking FPS isn't stable though, jumps between 60 and 40

Right now the only thing that is over heating is my CPU (which i over clock least)
Im using the heatsink that came with my CPU
Should I just get water cooling or save some money and get a heatsink? if so what one?

::::Heres some raw data::::

Non overclock--
Idle-
System- 34c
CPU- 41c
GPU- 45c
Full speed-
System- 39c
CPU- 58c
GPU- 83c

So you had a cpu water block and that broke on you? Or your whole water cooling broke?

You should always get cooler, whenever you overclock. Doesn't matter if it's just air or water cooling.

Water or air? Good air is $50 +/_. Good CPU water starts at just under $200. Your choice.

flyin: was probably some crap TT or other junk system.

he said he was using the heatsink that came with his cpu... not some "TT or other junk system" or watercooling or anything... he was just ocing on the stock cooler. which is risky with the crappy 45nm heatsink...

Sure, thanks venom, thanks again.

Glad he wasn't using "TT or other junk system" for watercooling.

I would use a nice stable air cooler if your planning on leaving the oc as is and not cranking it up anymore if you are then id go with a water cooling, as well if you ever plan on upgrading your gfx i may invest in a water cooler so you can buy a new socket later on and oc that too...
