For somebody that has never done liquid cooling before, would you stay that instructions for setting up a liquid cooler are straight forward? Meaning, am I going to run into problems?
How often do liquid coolers leak and ruin entire systems?
Do liquid coolers cause noise and if so, it's not much is it?
This is may be a deal breaker, do liquid coolers need to be monitored and / or refilled? I want to something I can setup and not have to worry about... whether it be months or a few years. If they do need to be monitored, how often are we talking?
One of the most important questions I have though is, will a liquid cooled CPU overclock higher than an air cooled CPU? (E8500)
The mobo I'm thinking of getting (790i ultra) has a lot of heat pipes and fins around the CPU ( http://www.dumpt.com/img/viewer.php?file=gf041id7ctt7skcnmuh7.jpg ), no doubt to take advantage of the air coming from a heatsink fan. The mobo shouldn't over heat with a liquid cooler just because I'm not giving those fins and heatpipes that air movement, right?
Would you go with a liquid cooler?
What liquid cooler would you go with if you were looking for something that would provide really awesome overclocking? (IE: The king of liquid cooling?)
I was thinking about the Aquagate Max

In one review I read about it, they gave it 0 out of 10 for not being able to fit in a regular case. I'm still reading up on it to figure if a P180 could house it.
