i will be overclocking and cooling with water. is there any advantage to getting an 800 mhz chip over a 700? i think the water will cool both sufficiently, but can the 800 be overclocked to a higher amount?
 

I think I would get the 800 just to be on the safe side. And I would suggest that you get one with the L1 bridges NOT intact. I suggest this is better because you will be getting a more recently manufactured chip, which may be more overclockable. Just don't get one so recent that the multiplier is locked via the "missing pins" trick.

From a larger perspective, is there a significant benefit to extreme cooling with an Athlon, given that the multiplier is adjustable? Can it really have that much effect?
