Is it possible to overclock an A64 with a silent system?

[clarkkent333]

Im going to be getting an A64 setup once Thermalright gets around to releasing the xp120. Since I will be running the setup almost silent I was wondering what my OC options were. I know I won't be able to achieve bleeding edge performance but I was hoping for something above stock speeds. I know its also ram and mb dependent but Im mostly interested in the increased temps with the lower air flow.

I think water cooling is supposed to be pretty silent, the only thing that makes noise there is the pump, you can use a couple quiet fans to cool the radiator. Anyone know how much noise the pumps make? Because I'm thinking of water-cooling my future A64 system.

I use a Hydor L30 pump in my water cooled system and its vey quite. Can't hear it at all over
the case fans evan with my fan controller turned all the way down.

Thanks for the advice but Im definately going to be going with air. Water is a little bit out of my financial and technical grasp.
