Hello,

i'm trying to get a few opinions on if water cooling is worth the money or a necessity if I don't plain on overclocking at all. I plan on having a AMD 64 FX-53 and a geforce 6800 ultra/radeon X800 XT. Will stock cooling be enough for these if I don't intend to overclock?

Thanks for any suggestions.

If you're not gonna OC, don't get aftermarket cooling (like watercooling). You don't need it and it'll void your warranties.

Yeah there is no point in changing the stock cooling if you aren't going to overclock. Manfacturers wouldn't give you something that wasn't up to par.
