I guess thats all relative to the music you listen to - if you listen to dynamic music (say classical) any additional noise is an annoyance. But yes, for a very small amount of money, you could make a passive solution that would be MANY times better than the reserator. Also, I bet you could make it infinately more portable too.

Does it really matter if his processor is at 30C or 40C? Okay, he could probably do 10 degrees better using an actively cooled system of similar price, but what difference is that going to make? Sure, hypothetically his processor's life will be extended, but to what extent? It will last 20 years rather than 15? Who keeps a processor that long anyway? Or perhaps he could overlock more, 200mhz maybe... thats gonna give him an imperceptable speed improvement or an extra 12 3dMarks...

Well, obviously it does to him! hes wanting to get a better waterblock to upgrade performance, with that thing? its like buying a fancy res for 200USD... Seems entirely pointless to me. Why not get a cheap heatercore, throw it on the top, an eheim pump (either of the smaller ones) and get a second hand block? If he put a 5v 120mm fan on there, hed have much better performance, more than likely, and have saved himself money...
