Yeah, I came in to water cooling at the end of the magic. I had a Tyan S2460 dual socket A with 60mm howlers on the heatsinks - looking for quiet pushed me to passive radiator water cooling.

This past year I was doing well with air cooling, but what goes around comes around - the cpu's aren't putting out that much heat, but the dual cores/quad cores are cooking the chipsets (which have really annoying noisey tiny fans) and the graphics cards have just gone over the edge of stupid on heat.

Watercooling, lost its magic, now it's just plumbing to deal with the components that aren't keeping up with the processors (bait).
