So I really want to do a liquid-cooled setup for my next gaming rig. I shit you guys not, my folks keep it very hot. I recently had a PSU burn out from the hot temps and I've had a 360 and PS3 burn out. I can't put the actual temps to a number, but you break out in the kind of sweats where you are sweating from your sides and the undies are soaked With my last setup, the cooling wasn't too great to start will. I was thinking to jump to liquid cooling off the bat. I remember someone saying with liquid, like air, it only gets as cool as the ambient air. Is this correct? That new Nvidia case had me thinking if high-end air could cool 3-4 470s/480s, it should be more than enough for me.
