Water cooling is no longer for the serious over clocker, they have moved onto Chilled Water ( far beyond just a fridge ) and pelts/thermoelectric and dry ice, you will only find the modest OC'ers and silent/cool junkies toying with water now. I believe there was no magic in the water just in wow factor when you got your P3 to 600MHZ! ( which I still own )
