I thought it would be helpful to know how much higher people have been able to overclock their CPU when going from air-cooling to water-cooling.
Remember: The choices above refer to the difference between highest on air and highest on water.
In order to make this poll the most helpful, let's only report what is “stable” (passes any test repeatedly: SuperPi 32M, occt, all 3DMarks, etc.).
Since most of our specs are already in our sig, we can also report the following:
Highest “stable” overclock on air
CPU: 2.60GHz (Vcore: 1.70V)
-- Cooling equipment: Cooler Master Ultra Vortex (heatsink with 92mm fan)
Highest “stable” overclock on water
CPU: 2.70GHz CPU (Vcore: 1.80V)
-- Cooling equipment: Storm G4, BIX III, MCP655 pump, 1/2" tubing
