Bob, no, unfortunately not, due to the price. I've already thought of it couple of times, and each time I looked at it, I saw some 150€ for two waterblocks and just couldn't deal with myself.But nevertheless, I have no problems running, my inside temp is not high, judging from the outtake by hand (used to be way warmer when I had no WC), my mainboard temp is not very high (I would have to check now exactly how much, but I think it's around 45, can it be?).You are right, I know, though my overclocks, on the past 5 computers which I had with WC were very successful and I had 0 problems with the mainboards.
Word Not Allowed--I shoot the components in my PCs with a Fluke IR thermometer during a build--you'd be amazed at how hot the power regulation section can be even while the mobo is reporting temps below 30 deg C. It's that knowledge that makes me a stickler for good airflow in a case, and a real fan of the Coolermaster HAF cases based on my highly scientific flow testing with cigar smoke. ;-)

I have a close friend with an AZZA case. They are very well built and have great aesthetics.AZZA has some very interesting cases.
Man that looks like a case out of Terminator movie. Seriously fugly. :LMAO:

Hahaha, a classic way of testing an airflow!You really put me in hard position. Man, I need to invest too much money into this computer... ugh. Besides, I notoriously hate loud computers (=air cooling).

I like the new Carbide series mid tower cases from Corsair. They are understated in that there are no windows and multi colored lights but there made to take the Corsair hydro CPU coolers and still have tons of room inside. My equipment stay's at near room temp at all times.
