+ longer life! but of course, us overclockers never keep chips for more than a year right?

no, it's either or. rule states:

10C lower = either ~+2% frequency increase, OR x2 life at same freq. same volt (if my memory serves me right)

I like to see the difference from box stock cooler to this setup. Man, the temp Delta would be HUGE! Those stock coolers are okay for people who keep them at or neat stock speeds, but they are horribly ineficient for OC'ing. That true may have had some issues too though. They showed one where the base was so concave that a guy wore right through the Cu trying to get the concavity out of it. It was really bad.

stock cooler, 3ghz 50c idle
watercooling 3ghz 30c idle.
just shifted the coolers and temp drop was nice.
