Isn water cooling an expensive option?

A: Not really. You have equipment that will give low operating temperatures so increasing the life of your computer. This also ensures stable operation, which means less crashes and greater productivity. And all of this achieved with low, low noise levels. And it is future proofed. As components get hotter, your water cooling equipment will cope. So it is an investment. The CPU waterblocks are universal – you only need to change the clamps to suit the socket type, so when a new socket arrives, you need only obtain a new clamp to upgrade.
