A DTek heatercore or equivalent, cooled by a 7V Papst 4412 N/2GL, will keep things overclocked to the max and stable, without producing much noise at all...
That's what i have and the only limit to my OC'ing is the motherboard voltages (i need to vmod it). I can pretend my PC is both quiet (not "silent" yet) and and wildly overclocked (TBird 1000@1449, FSB@207 / CAS2, all stock voltages). The CPU runs @41°C full load in a room at 22°C. GPU and NB are both watercooled as well. I still have two fans, the rad one, and a Papst 8412 in a Seasonic PSU that i cant hear over HDDs and the 12cm fan.
Do i need cooler components ? I don't think so. It would not improve anything to the system performance.
