liquid cooling foo

according to reviews the pump is gonna fail in 4 months so make sure you set the comp to shutdown above a certain temp so the cpu doesnt get damaged.
 
i have the r80 in my 3400+, it works fine, but a quality air cool could do just as good. not really worth it for the cash, and not really considered a liquid cooled setup. not really good for overclocking.
mind you even if the pump fails you shouldn't fry your cpu. i had mine hooked up to the mobo like it said, didn't realize for a few weeks that the pump wasn't actually running and it still kept my cpu pretty cool. i'd recommend hooking up the pump directly to the psu.
 
water cooling is pretty much a waste of money unleast you push oyur PC to the max....
fans do the jobs ok ussualy.

A truly honest opinion. I approve this post! :P No really, most people simply do not give you the truth anymore...

They both look fine for normal use, providing they come with reliable pumps and aren't known for corrosion. If you want to OC, swappin out a few parts is usually pretty easy. Spend a bit more, and you could make your own...it should do very well, and you can be assured all the parts are well built.
