I guess "balls out" would be a person whose primary goal would be to achieve
significantly better than very noisy top-end air-cooling overclocks with their water-cooling setup.
2691MHz with an XP-M is about level with top-end air-cooling - but of course it's also dependent upon the CPU. Got two XP-M CPU's here which will happily do 2850MHz Prime95 stable on water-cooling with radiator fannage noise that would be mid-way between the FGL's and the Sunons. I will say that Sunon's are a particularly bad choice though. They are perhaps THE single worst brand of fans that I have EVER heard for making an annoying noise.
