I want to find a good internal water cooling kit or efficient fan to bring my cpu temps down. I wanna try to clock my cpu to up 4ghz as well as getting my system ready for vista, dx10 and of course Hellgate: London! I have all the stock fans and shrouds installed and wanna know know what you guys think. I also want to upgrade my gpu to a dx10 card when they become available but I'm concerned about bottlenecks. I don't wanna pay 300-500 just to have my card held back by a bottleneck. If anyone can give me some advice on how to pinpoint bottlenecks and good wc it will help. I'm a mod noob and some good advice would

You may want to try this site: forums.extremeoverclocking.comYou'll have to join (it's free). Then read the stickies. There is a tremendous wealth of cooling options there. Just DON'T mention you working on cooling a Dell as it (the site) is primarily DIY users and they dont like pre-made (i.e. Dell, HP, etc.) PC's. You will get much better advice if you just call your sytem a "test" PC... ;D You might want to look at my Gen. 3 under "photography" as I used all DIY parts to watercool it..

I didnt think Gen4 users could overclock their processors? Check in your bios to make sure you can edit your FSB before going through all that. I have water cooling in my XPS and it was a LOT of work.
