Liquid Cooling Question?

[xKrypTIKKxHD]

Hey guys, how do you know if you need to liquid cool a gaming system? and whether it is really necessary?
reply's would really help thank you!

Nope. Water cooling is not necessary for a gaming machine.

Not necessary. Water cooling is what overclocking and modding enthusiasts do. And I mean proper enthusiasts; you can still overclock quite well on air. And this has nothing to do with gaming in particular

Nobody NEEDS water cooling. However, if you like to run high clocks on your hardware 24/7 and you're annoyed by loud fans, or if you just prefer a silent system, water cooling can be a solution.

Exactly, no need at all for it unless your gonna be cranking up voltages a lot and producing more heat.

no... its not needed...

its like adding a stage 3 turbo + a super large intercooler for a city driving car.

Is it needed? only if u like going 0-100 each stop light..

It does however extend hardware life (if your not overclocking voltage like a mad man), due to the components running cooler, hence extending the life.
However it will invalidate some warrenties.
