Hi guys, need some help. I'm trying to decide if I will benefit more from water cooling my cpu or gpu for gaming. I have played with water cooling in the past and want to try it again. I only have enough room to wc one thing, since I have SFF. I'm planning on buying a better micro-atx mobo with better oc options. So I need some opinions, based on what I have, what should I do?
can my amd 4000 san diego work ok on air above 2.6? will i get more FPS @ 2.6-2.7
can I get more out of my 7800gt(4.85core/1.2mem) if i wc it? will i get more FPS at higher oc? which of the 2 should i do? I'm leaning toward watercooling the gpu.
Again, i'm doing this so that I can have a better gaming experience. Thanks in advance.
 
well, are you planning on trying to fit a small rad inside your case? If so, i'm not sure it would be worth trying to WC, as which ever componant you don't put in your loop is going to be dumping heat into your case (especially if your overclocking), raising your ambiant temps, making it harder to bring your water temps down. I've never worked with a SFF case, but waterclocks don't really take up much, if any, more room that the stock heating elements. I know it's not easy, but i've seen people WC a whole rig in a SFF case.
