why not? there's nothing wrong with it, it actually works better ya goof.
Not necessarily. If you're talking about all-in-one units, most of them can't beat the better air coolers.

Now if you're taking about custom water cooling loops, then yes, they beat air coolers quite easily. My temps dropped at least 15C when I switched to water cooling. The reason is surface area. More area for the air to come in contact with increases cooling effectiveness.

That's not to say that the all-in-one units are a waste. Their biggest advantage is that they don't block RAM slots.

Actually they've come quite far in the last few years. The H60, which is not expensive at all, and actually cheaper than one of the better air coolers (Noctua), beats it:

It barely beats it.

For me to put water inside my computer, my temps would have to be cut in half and I would have to be able to get an enormous overclock compared to what air cooling would give me.

What makes people think the water cooler will come with the CPU. The packaging looks like it's a completely separate product.

Maybe consider reading the thread before posting questions that prolly have already been asked and answered?

I have an NH-D14 an seriously I would see the advantage of something like a H60. The NH-D14 is just huge. It's a bit annoying every time you want to change something you either need to remove it or somehow work around it.
