Here is my current setup:
Case: Antec p180B
CPU: Opteron 185
CPU Cooling: Thermalright Ultra-120
GPU: e-vga 8800 GTX Superclocked
Hard Drives: 2x Western Digital Caviar 160GB Raid 0
Mobo: Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe
PSU: SeaSonic M12-700 700w
Sound Card: X-fi Fatal1ty
Ram: 1GB (2 x 512MB) Geil PC-4400 DDR-550
and 5 Nexus D12SL-12 120mm Fans at 7v.
Before the 8800 i was running a 7600 gs passively cooled and my cpu would idle around 35C and this system was 100% inaudible. The HOT AS HELL 8800 totally messed with my setup and now it idles around 45-50C I have to run it with the side cover off just to keep it under 45C. These results leave me to believe that I need to turn to water cooling. The most important thing to me is that this system be totally quiet and run at a decent idle temperature.
So what would be your recommendations for a water cooling system for under $200? I also plan on buying a second 8800 late this summer so if there is a system that you could recommend that would be able cool 2 8800s that would be great.
Thanks in Advance,
