Gonna order water cooling

A couple things. A great heatsink will trump water cooling any day, in my opinion.

I had water cooling in my old computer. It's a pain in the ass to install most times, you have to make sure that that tubes are TIGHT TIGHT TIGHT, because if any water leaks out...well needless to say you're pissed off then. Also you have to maintain it. Constantly cleaning it, and changing the water. well, you don't HAVE to, but if you want it to work well you do.

My computer AFTER the one with water cooling had a nice heatsink, and my CPU was overclocked from 2.5 to 3.5 and the temperature never even got above 40c if I remember properly.

I used Xtreme Systems liquid cooling forum a lot when I was looking into liquid cooling. I will be honest, I have not been on there in a long time, but they were very helpful last time I was.

I ended up going with the Swiftech H20-220-APEX-GT kit from Newegg. While not the best, it is very good for the money. I also liked the fact that it came with everything, being it was my first dive into liquid cooling.

Price to performance, liquid is not worth it, unless you are just trying for insane overclocks, but I am still glad I did it, and feel it was money well spent.

*EDIT*

Some nice sites to check out are Jab-tech, Petra's, and FrozenCPU, just to name a few.

No, just no.
If you do it right none of those things come into the picture at all.
