For many overclockers, water cooling is something they would rather not try. Most people are afraid it will leak and ruin their hardware. However, if done right, water cooling has some serious advantages over air cooling. It's more efficient, quiter, and looks very cool.
Now, how does it work? Quite simple. Instead of a cooler with a fan, you place a cooler with water on your CPU, video card and chipset. Water runs through it, cooling it. The water itself is then cooled in a large radiator with a fan. In the end, it's still forced air cooling, but with a lot less noise.
The basic parts of a water cooling set are cooling blocks, a pump, a water reservoir and a radiator with a fan. And tubing, or course. Water cooling sets aren't exactly cheap, though. More advanced - and expensive - sets can control the flow of water and fan speed automatically.
