Would I benefit from W/C?

I have been reading articles on Water Cooling and most of the reviews I have seen show temps higher that I get with forced air cooling. I run around 35c and get around 39c at full load.

Would I benefit from it...or should I keep my system the way it is....by running a 4 inch dryervent hose placed directly on the fan to draw room temp air onto my cpu rather than case air. 20c air rather than 30 c +?

Mind you with out the vent hose my cpu hits high 40's

Just something for you peeps to consider before doing the W/C.

If you were to cool your radiator with the same contraption, you would probably get a small decrease in temperatures from watercooling (saying this while not knowing what your system is). With those temperatures, I would only go to watercooling for a decrease in noise or the learning experience of doing it.

Yes..I guess I should have posted some of that...I have an asus a7v333 with an XP 2200 overclocked to 2gig also running it at 1.85 volts.
