Default Re: Pre-Assembled Water Cooling

Seems to me that there are 5 main reasons for water cooling.
  1. The cool looks factor
  2. Overclock value
  3. Combination of cool looks and overclock value.
  4. Creative outlet
  5. Combination of several of the above.
If overclock value is the primary reason then I would not suggest water cooling over a nice air cooled system. Diminished returns says that the extra $150-$300 cost will not produce a $150-$300 better overclock than air.

Personally I don't think the extra maintenance and work nor owning a cooling solution that may not adapt to the nextgen CPU socket, is worth the cost if ones primary reason is simply OC value.
