It's a great hobby, I highly recommend it. For a long time, since my watercooling leaked about 7 months ago now, I was running on an old CAK-38, which was uber loud, and doesn't cool as well as the newer heatsinks. I recently bought an Aeroflow, started overclocking again. I must say that the extra 600MHz I have right now is nice, I'm sure it can go much higher, but the mobo is not ideal for it :shrug:.
Then, once you get into TECs, it gets really fun
