OC'd cooling problem

[gixxerguy98]

Ok my rig is in sig below. The air cooled TEC used to work awesome but has always had alot of case temp. I am having trouble with the system locking up during game play (World of Warcraft) I believe it is the video card (shards even when under clocked) and my older athalon xp 2000 is fine so I am sure this is a issue with something being "broken" I am going to build a new rig and want to rebuild this one for the girlfriend. for the old rig I was think adding another 1Gb of ram the same stuff, replacing the 9800pro, and bringing the OCing down to stock or 3.0g. So the only thing I am not sure of is cooling.

My new rig I am open for ideas. From start to finish.

A few concerns.

I just bought a house and paying my power bill was nice till I started useing the comp 2-4 hours a day. It makes the room go from 77*f to 83*f

So I want the computer to run cool as well as not make the room hot (both comps one room. 12'x12') I was gonna try water cooling but held off till the new comp.

1. computer runs cool

2. ambient temps stay reasonable.

3. noise (i hate that 92mm tornado)

I was think both comps water cooled on same using one large pump and maybe a water chiller outside.

Key is good perfomance and low power usage I know I can't have both but I want a good happy medium.

Thanks in advance,
Darrell

P.S. let me know if I should post this thread else where.

er your sig isnt showing so we cant see what rig you have, but if you want something that runs cool and doesnt suck up the watts you might want to think about getting an A64. as for cooling ide kit out your old computer with Zalman coolers and water cool your other comp with the rad outside (you will have to think up something getto to keep fans dry though). oh and i wouldnt advise cooling 2 comps in 1 water loop unless you have some kind of chiller but ide advise agenst that as well if your power bill is an issue
