Water cooling isn't a 'cheaper cooling' option. It can actually get quite expensive.

If you need better cooling for cheap, I'd suggest a second, or a higher speed fan.

Water cooling is one of the more expensive methods of cooling (not to mention impressive looking ). Your best bet is to do what most computer techs do: invest in another HSF and/or case fan.

Actually I have an Athlon XP 2100+ that runs very cool now. I have 2 exaust fans, plus the 2 power supply fans and then two intake fans. Also my heatsink in the new liquid cooled AeroCool HSF. Works great! More fans = cooler temps!
