Ehh I really don’t see a need for watercooling anymore to be honest unless you just wanna be a dyno queen so to speak… I cant think of what to call it.

Most AMD and Intel processors now in the 45nm and now 32nm can be overclocked extremely well with just a decent air cooling setup, they dont get as hot when overclocking as older processors used to and even when getting a little toasty they handle heat much better.

Theres quite a few good heatsinks out there for CPU’s that are just as efficent as watercooling setups, although aftermarket air GPU setups are still lacking due to the inability for them to have a huge whopping heatsink on them.

Realisticly IMO unless you care about having a bad ass setup and the best possible numbers you can max out of your system just to say you did I dont see a neeed for watercoolign anymore.

Mike im not trying to take away from your setup at all man, thats just my opinion.
