Yes, go with water cooling. It will give you more room to overlock without worrying about frying your processor. As for brands go, I have no idea. I have never looked into it. I know more people that has builit a water cooling system than bought one. So if your into modding projects I would look into that.
 
Water Cooling isnt that great. Plus its expensive you would need a $200 one to support that. Plus its risky.

I just smoked two of my CD/DVD drives with the Water Cooling I had in there. Suck's, now i have no way of putting cd's in.

I recommend just nice air cooling.
Zalman makes some good heatsinks.
 
You screwed up your ROM drives because you didnt install it properly. Its not just because of the fact that it is water cooling. And if he wants to get the best OC'ed performance he needs to go with water cooling.
 
well watercooling is a good way to go if you understand the risks and the fact that every several months you have to change the water, add coolant and so and so forth. if your kinda lazy like me, zalman and thermaltake make really good heatsinks/fans
 
is the zalman that silent as it claims? like seriosely quiet, SO QUEIET THE I CAN GO RIGHT UP TO THE FAN and be able to sleep? cuz im thinking of changing to water cooling aswell, cuz i bought a new fan, and it said the noise was 27.95 in what ever measurement its measured in, so i bought it and i didn't change a bit from the stock fan!
