If you're not overheating, dropping the temp has 0% effect on your PC. To a certainn point, dropping temps don't help overclocking either. Whether you run 30C, or -50C, your PC will still have a wall it cannot get past when overclocking.

A few degrees isn't a "huge" difference, unless it makes the difference between stable and unstable. But if you're 3C away from instability, you're obvously pushing your hardware too far. My point is if a $30 CPU coler can give you 40C load temp, and a $200 water kit gets you 36C...you're spending $160 for 4C...when you could just lower the A/C in your room, or improve your case airflow.
