Holy crap CC, that thing looks like it has more horse power than my car... very nice

Did you read Bill's post? It's not his computer.

What do you need all this $hit for, gaming or some such silliness?

There is nothing silly about gaming. It is a very serious, non-fun, non-entertaining pastime.

I did read it, but rushed in my response, it wasn't directed straight at Bill, but it does look like it has some serious H P

Too bad that Silencer guy disappeared over a year and a half ago, I woulda like some more details about that monstrosity he calls a computer.

It hasn't been that long... he was on for the Puro Pot Pass III. Not sure if he logged on since then.

Yeah, pretty much a rig like that is for gaming, however, his is more blng than I prefer. I like to stay maybe a year behind the computer curve, and keep putting the new shit in an old case. A lot of his is for looks.

To keep it real, some people only smoke Opus because they think it's cool.

HEY, I smoke Opus X because I LOVE 'dem ceegars.

Getting back to his computer, is there REALLY a need for liquid cooling for the northbridge AND southbridge chipsets, ever for the most avid gamer who's overclocking his computer?

Well, I'm no gaming expert...I don't have the time right now, however I'm pretty sure there's games that will melt the most over clocked / cooled computer, so yes there is a need.

Silencie's is mild...check out my buddy's a few posts down.

PS. I think Opus is a decent cigar.

Sorry cant fit everything in the picture.

So I've come back as a ghost to answer your question. When it comes to watercooling, you're trying to isolate all the moving air to one spot where the radiator is. When you do that, you have little to no ambient air cooling anything inside the computer. Nowadays since the northbridge and southbridge play a major role in the performance of a computer, and most require a heatsink of sorts, it would be smart to watercool it to prevent overheating issues and create stability in the long run.
