my biggest gripe with watercooling, is that it sucks the value out of overclocking. its usually better to spend $350 more on your processor and get a $50 heatsink then to spend $400 on a watercooling setup.

well not always, especially when nowadays quadcores overclock much further, sometimes far enough that air cant handle them. The i7 920 and 975 probably clock somewhat similar on air, due to the amount of heat they put out. But get water, and you would see the 975 clock somewhat further most of the time.
