exactly!!

its a cost issue not a performance issue...

liquid cooling is not extreme cooling but its a step above air cooling, true it uses fans to cool the rad but its the liquid that removes the heat and the surface area of the rad that gives it the better cooling advantage!

i cant argue the cost side of things but when its the performance that comes into question its a different matter!
