Re: Watercooling, my thoughts
LOL @ High End cooling in general. It's so over-kill. Just buy a good heat sink and fan and be done with it. You don't need 5 case fans, or water cooling, or anything like that. And you certainly shouldn't bother with stuff like phase change cooling.

Re: Watercooling, my thoughts
Not really. It depends how you plan to use your CPU. I spent much less on water cooling kit than Alex, but it requires a lot DIY spirit and I had some problems with cheap alternatives. In the end, I found that craneberry juice bottle is better than 1Ga. milk bottle. A good custom water kit can really kill the temperature down while overvolted. I can get my Phenom 9850 to 3.0GHz with 1.45Vcore, but it overheats in 3 min under stress test under air. That is never the case with water.

Originally posted by AvalancheDiodeZalman makes those giant radiator towers that require no fan at all. However, it is still better to have a human fan blowing air in the room.
