    There's a few schools of thought on cooling other components.

    Watercooling RAM and NB probably gives very minimal performance headroom, so I wouldn't really bother. This goes for graphics card RAM as well.

    There's no need to say watercooling other things like HDD and soundcards, southbridges... they're a total waste of money.

    well if i ever went sli then i would have the setup for it just add tubing and a water block for the video card. Hd's im not worried about nor south bridge or sound card. just CPU, GPU, and a second one sometime maybe, and my NorthBridge. Like i said i have a Big case Full tower. 120mm in the front hard drives sideways the fan is right there. and a 120mm in the back those will be my only 2 fans besides my heatercore fan.I put a Thermaltake Big Typhoon cpu cooler in there for the time being. Dropped the temps from roughly 54C at a between idle and medium load; to idles at 38C. At a load of BF2 42C max now. GPU idles at 52C with a load though it goes to bout 58. Makes it nice in the winter sux in the summer lol. This is gonna be my Pump http://www.fish.com/itemdy00.asp?T1=710534 002&srccode=FSHSHPNG
    I can get it cheaper than that here in Indiana gonna mount it on top of my case in the back above my power supply I have about 2 inches between my power supply and the top of my case.
