    i guess this is where i dont see the objective meeting the end result.

    Air is fine.. i dont see why you guys think water is that much greater then air.

    Water is only greater then air, when you need that room or reserve.


    If you dont have that reserve, then there is really no point in water, because you can mirror its results on air.

    Same goes with half built LC systems. If the system isnt setup properly, you wont see the benefit of water, and we bring ourselves back on the ever so heated topic on whats better water or air.

    Just because u got water running though your system does not mean it will perform better then an air system.

    I can think of plenty of people on this forum who dont touch water, only does air, and would probably give 2/3rds of us in water a good run for there money in raw performance numbers.

    What i forgot is, were so stuck up on bling.. hey im guilty of it myself even...
    If bling is what you want... then by means go for it.

    Bling doesnt need any other reason besides "because i want it."
    But watercooling a budget platform hoping to get performance benefits is just wishing too much.

    Your hardware is tax'd as it is.. water wont help you get a truck though a mouse hole... however a bigger mouse hole will.

    ^ is what im trying to say...

    You failed to mention acoustics. For some of us, "raw performance" means nothing if PC noise ends up on our recordings.

    Give me a dead-silent p35 system I can use for gaming, composing, audio editing and recording any day over a Hoover of an i7 system. I don't care what the theoretical performance numbers are if the system doesn't meet my needs.
