That's not a significantly OC, so of course there's no difference in temperatures... and you can really get to a 5% OC on GPUs anyways :/Quote:

Watercoolers :D

That water cooler looks cool. Does it work or is it a joke?
Anyways, I'd take it that it's not a good idea, right? Ok, then. I'll just keep waiting for a gaming PC.
Liquid cooling is fine. It just requires more maintenance compared to air from time to time :/
Oh, cool!
Thanks for the info, everyone. I WANT a gaming PC, but I doubt I'm gonna get one. Actually, with my life changing, by the time I can get one, I possibly won't have time to play computer games or may not care to.
My friend did work at a computer shop, and the receptionist there wasn't all that great with computers at all. He asked how to cool his computer down; And jokingly, everyone who worked in the shop said to put water on the computer; "It's called water cooling."
He did, and he fried his computer.
Don't fall for that trick.
hahaahahahaaha xD!
I can't help but to think that is kinda funny. Like, how did he expect it to work?
Anyways, it still isn't nice. I can't imagine how devastating it must be to fry your computer.
I like air cooling the most. If you don't like liquid cooling of any sorts (even mineral oil)
Get a case with three vents:
one front (bottom of tower)
one back (near the middle or top, usually above the Graphics card)
one side (processor of course. Note that some side-vent cases have a space for a 120mm fan on the case itself, and not just on the processor.)
Go with 120mm fans. I had an ATX case, front, back 120mm fans, and the processor fan that was included, I had an nvidia GTS 250, no overclocking, nor the Intel Core 2 DUO (3.0 GHz) was overclocked. The machine was very fast, and outputted air that was pretty darn cold.
