good case sat.

but imho, watercooling has turned into a fashion statement. the ONLY reasons to have one is if you're overclocking, have a beast of a dual cpu/gfx card, or both.

Aww reminds me of when I built my computer last year

water cooling is pretty good for a performance boost (temperature wise)

Although I personaly wasn't mad on the idea of an external kit, hence why everything is built in / on my case, the rad is on the rear case fan, and the resevoir is in a CD bay.

Because that's just gross (in a good way)

i have it overclocked with now with the mobo tools i dont think that it pushes it as high as it can go though. Right now it doesnt go above 110F as far as ive seen. Ill overclock it my self when i know enough to do it

I'm so proud that you got a Lian Li case. The mark of a true computer geek.

with my cpu boosted +200mhz & gfx card boosted +40 mhz with balanced memory my machine's at a steady 37-39 degress celcius. Don't need water cooling. just a good aired case and decent custom cpu fan/heatsink.

watercooling makes little to no noise =P

Perfect noiseless cooling would be to completely fill your case with a non conductive liquid like cooking oil.

lol ive seen that done, im not saying its perfect, buts it quiter than the jet engine my old computer was =P besides having a big bowl of boiling cooking oil next to me would just make me want to cook up some french fries instead of killing the next boss in wow =)
