clocker: personally, im in the same boat as you - i dont care about that last 100mhz, but if you're using the machine for something intensive (ie, rendering, which i actually do use my pc for), increasing the pc's speed by 5% can mean a lot when you're doing a render/animation that will take 2 days... plus, in a dualcore, that benefit is two fold.

However, i do care about silence - so a better waterblock could theoretically let me lower my fan speed (probably pretty significantly, really) for the same overclock; allowing for the same productivity at a lower noise level.

Also, a watercooling system is plain extravagance anyway - theres no justification in it, may as well get the most benefits out of it that you can....

Chip stability is the important thing. The temperature of the diode doesnt neccessarily represent that stability.
