AND water cooled video chips AND water cooled RAM modules. The overclockers know how to push the limits on speed versus heat dissipation.
I wish I could afford to do this, sigh. :^)

Cost is the only reason why my new rig on the bench in my computer shop isn't water-cooled. But I have one honkin' Cooler Master fan and heat sink on that sucker. When it's done, I gotta post a few pics. The effects pimp job I did on it will make Steven Spielberg green with envy. LOL All black, with blue LED's (right down to the chrome fan grille bolts having blue LED's in the center and all five 90mm fans), LED ground effects, and blue LCD readouts on the front panel hard drive coolers and fan controllers. And a blue-backlit keyboard with heads-up LCD display, and optical mouse with blue LED-lit baffles and cooling fan. Looks like a bloody UFO landed. My wife is already bitching about how much light it'll throw off. I shut her up when I told her that I'll put a porthole on top and strap in a couple of cold cathode tubes if she didn't clamp up her piehole. LMAO

There are cheap ways to water cool. Some times, cheap and safe are mutually exclusive though.
And not just from water damage. Pumps that wear out too quickly is a common problem.
And btb, there are water blocks for the north/southbridge chips, and hard drive attachments too.
Don't think I've seen one for psu's.

Then again, I'm not a gamer, and I really don't need to Freep faster! I freep faster than I can read as it is now (which is why I usually don't bother with actually reading the stuff I respond to, as many have remarked to me!)
