Pfft.. lol. I'm a fan of custom loops myself, and I strongly disagree that water cooling the CPU is pointless vs. air.
Running 4.5 GHz on my 5960x would be very difficult with air cooling. My loop keeps her below 60 C. I also believe a Corsair AIO wouldn't suffice either unless I was okay with it reaching 80 C+, but if somebody asked me, I'd recommend the Corsair AIO's over air cooling.
Just my 2p. =)
