I dont think anyone was really saying that watercooling was useless. there are definatly some cases where it can drastically reduce noise and possibly significantly inprove performance. But excluding a few really hot gpu's, things can be very quietly cooled with air and sufficiently OC'd. I have a 7900GT and it runs nearly silently, slightly audible under load and this is with stock cooling. If you have a really hot gpu, shure water will be quieter, i just feel that in my case, its kinda superfolous. Im still going to WC and pelt cool my cpu, it just doesnt give me the thrill it used to. i still want to see what i can drain out of the system, but its not what it used to be. for me.
