Well, I'm air cooled at the moment, but my kit is on the way. I must say that 70C is outrageous. Mine idles at 50C... not sure how high it gets. Water is alot harder to heat than air. Even a poor water cooler will outperform the best and noisiest HSF.
I've not heard of anyone having trouble w/ leakage, providing that they took appropriate measures to prevent it. (hose clamps, use eheim pumps...)
