Would it be worth it to buy this?

Looks a bit big, but it's only 45 bucks... which would lead me to believe it's not everything you need for water cooling.

Also, only get water cooling if you are going to do some serious over clocking.

As Madman says, water cooling sucks at actually COOLING when it comes to over-clock procedures. You can't be that fastidious that you actually ditch normal fan-coolings just to have it not sound anything.(Why else choose water-cooling)

You don't need water cooling. A good, cheap cooler (such as the Big Typhoon) should adequately cool most any system.

If you are really serious about uber-extreme overclocking, get liquid nitrogen.

That is HUGE. I think it's worth it though. I think your money is better spent on a fan for 45 bucks then an actual water cooling system. If you springing for a water cooling system, that probably means you are doing some extreme gaming, and then if you are, shell out some serious money, because a melted processor is the worse loss of money there is.

Yeah, it is pretty big, in that specific case, bigger is better.

If you are doing light or no overclocking, there is no reason to buy extra cooling. I can get my Core 2 Quad stable at 3.2GHz with the stock cooler, and probably higher (with good temps, mid 30's). But I don't want to pump 1.38125v into it all the time (of course there is Vdroop and Voffset, so it never really runs that high, around 1.312v most of the time).

I've overclocked my cpu(Core 2 duo e4500) from 2,2(original) to 3,0 at the default cpu-cooler. Works brilliant. Intels standard coolers are very good!

Water Cooling is not always quiet, and i am definetoly not going to vouch that that HUGE blue thing is quiet...

A word to the wise, just use air cooling... Also if you fuck up while connecting pipes your hosed! (Literally)

More dangerous in my opinion...

Also, you could probably run Runescape on high settings on a 10 year old computer...
