    What is the best extreme cooling solution for hot i7s?

    I have had reasonable success with air but having done a fair amount of reading - I am thinking of moving to water. The oc'd i7's generate so much heat! My 965 is 4.1 prime stable 10+hrs on air but at a rediculas max temp of 97C, my config is in my signature below. I plan to raise the qpi v to see if I can run at a lower cpu v (1.55v used for 4.1) but I imagine my temps will stay pretty high. So, my question - if money is no object (but low noise is still desirable) - what is the best extreme cooling solution for hot i7s? Plan to use the machine 8-12 hours per day for two years then cpu can die.
