I want my cpu as fast as possible but I am not the crazy overclocker that want to get ultra high 3d mark score

I want to play delta fans (190 cfm 50dba), i have a speed controller for sure

I found the insane air cooler : noctua nh d14 on google but it cannot fit 38mm fans imo shakehead.gif

Then i found radiator is most suitable for monster delta fans but my fren told me
cheap water cooling components will make the perfomance lower than insane air cooler

my cooling rig budget around rm350
(exclude resavior box and pump)

If go for water cooling, I am confused which waterblock to get...
Swiftech Apogee XT
or this one

I know its china made but that are branded and silver plated brows.gif
What i wanted to know is which waterblock waterflow design has higher perfomance etc.

btw i am confused the air flow with delta 190mm fans...
So i decided that radiator fans doesn't need crazy airflow design

is there any disadvantages using liquid cooling?
Except the risk of liquidleaking

whats the meaning of extreme oc? above 4.5ghz or something?

I mean like...
If water cooling costs RM500
And air cooling costs RM300
At 4.8Ghz
Water cooling = ???C
Air Cooling = ???C

will it take huge difference?

Added on July 14, 2011, 8:30 pmchoose nH d14
thanks all for suguession
my conclusion;

Insane Liquid Cooling > NH D14 > H70
Air cooler uses copper as heat spreader, why use water?
only insane computer player that have huge radiator surface can do better perfomance than nh d14 by insane liquid cooling
I've do alot of google search and they all recommend NH D14 than H70
