Finishing up my Watercooled + TEC Chiller in a month or so. So technically, that is an "Other" as I qualify as "Extreme Cooling" using the TEC Chiller. :)
 
I was bored tonight so I decided to up my over clock on my i5 2500k to 4.8ghz (over the 4.5 i have been using for a while). With my air cooling my 4.5 never made it over 70c. Running at 4.8 it get to 81c. I think I may switch to water soon.
 
Have air coolers and water cooling setups. Air is nice and easy but water is where its at for 24/7 rig. Thinking about a slush box for cheap "extreme" cooling.
 
Other for me. The only system I really sit down at when I'm not at work is my benching station. It's usually subzero whether it's chilled water or a CPU pot.
 
I use an air cooling on my main computer, Dice on my seconary (which has all-compatable parts for my main)

I've got a few chunks of copper and have been thinking about water cooling for a while though, i'd use it on my secondary if I ever made a block. (which is covered in vaseline atm, no leak worries lol)
 
i was going to get a ND14 but i got my H100 for a steal so i Made it fit in my case
 
I just finished putting in my WC system, it took me almost 2 days to get it all set up right as it was my first system; I upped my speed and voltages and it still maintains a temp 10-15c lower than with my CM 212 EVO. :)
 
I'm still using a SwiftTech H2O-220 kit i bought for my s478 Prescott in '06. It has been a great investment and has been on quite a few different systems.
 
i use a H50 cause its the best for application
however i would use are and proper piping any chance i would get
