right i need some honest advice, i have been toying with the thought of watercooling for quite sometime, but im starting to wonder if theres really any point? i live in the north of england and its never particularly scorching hot here, room temperature isn't high in the slightest, running venice processor, 7600GT (in SLI soon) and i have a thermaltake soprano case. would watercooling make much of a difference over my CNPS9500 at 2.75Ghz or would it be a waste of time? thanks
 
i was shocked how cool 7600GTs actually run, im getting 40*C overclocked to 655 on the core at idle, room temperature was warm cause it was nice and sunny outside 29*C, im not sure if load speed will be much greater cause it seems its running at same speed in 2D and 3D applications. getting another for SLI in a few weeks, and i doubt the whole SLI warmspot thing between the two cards is gonna increase the temperature by more than 1 or 2*C.
 
lol it goes to 2.9Ghz completely stable at 1.5V but i never noticed any difference in performance between 2.75 and 2.90 so i decided to take it back to 2.75 to try and prolong the processors life a bit
