Otherwise, you have made your point...
I think I'll shut up now.
C.O.P. is "CPU Overheat Protection". C.O.P. is actually a Asus name but other mainboards are following along with their own versions. Intel is already a little ahead with the built in throtteling in the P4's. i hear the Opterons have similar code built in that may or may not be used yet.

My ASUS A7V8X-X and my ABIT KD7 have this on them as did my ASUS A7V333. I think it is standard on all higher quality boards but I could be wrong.

Also not saying your completely wrong either, but I see nothing to indicate water cooling will be a viable option. I had this same argument 3 years ago and had the same opinion then as I do now. Just my opinion remember...
