Anyone With A Water Cooled Computer?

[IAIHMB]

I have been looking in to water cooling lately, it seems like a pretty good idea. For those of you that have experience with water cooling would you rather go with a water cooled case or just by a system by itself, and are there any major benefits to water cooling besides running pretty much silent? Thanks again guys.

A work associate added one to his AMD cause it was crusing at the 80+ degree mark all the time. By adding the water cooling it only netted him about 5 degrees. He was happy .

If he was at 80+ degrees-C then there is something wrong w/ his setup. mine never passes 54c and I just have 3 case fans.

That's what I thought... but it is in a room that is not air conditioned, 4th floor... Also, all CPU's (including intel) run at different temps depending on model

4th flr non air conditioned would explain a lot. I am running an AMD also.
if I was him I'd pop off the side of my case and put a box fan there.

I would rather save the cash and put it toward a phase-change cooling system. I'd have one already but the ones for dual-proc systems aren't OEM kits, you have to customize them to work. For single processors they would rock.
