Again, I don't care if you spend $1 or $10,000. But if you are being truthful that it's not your money and your work is paying for you to overclock to gain 5% to 10% app improvement over a normal well-equiped machine, I can't imagine watercooling being the best plan when it's someone else's dime.
Valid points, on all counts. In the end, I may decide to ditch the WC if it's flakey or problematic. It's new to me so that's an unknown. If that turns out to be the case, I'll replace it with solid AC - on MY dime.

The PSU is the point of concern most people have. I've read a pile of reviews, none negative and took the added step of speaking to builders who actually like them. In all cases, they feel as I do and as others here have said - it's a name with a bad rep but the "MACH 1" is their flagship product and has been an outstanding performer from everyone I've talked to. Again, if it's junk, I'll ditch it in favor of a new PSU - again, on MY dime.

If it does perform and three months from now I report it as such, would it change anyone's mind? Not likely but I'll review everything I purchase.
