Water as a (liquid at working temperatures) fluid, moves orders of magnitude more heat than air (as working fluid) does, Sure Glycol or TEG (Tetraethylene Glycol) is best, but I do not have time to find a non corrosive, non conducting fluid in lieu of water (although Silicone brake fluid or DOT-5 might just do the trick). Sorry for the digression..... The only caveat, is to get a cooling system, that is made of robust, quality components. Also, monitoring the temperature is important, and it'd be nice to have a micro pressure transmitter, downstream of the pumping mechanism to ensure no leaks by detecting tiny leaks BEFORE they happen (delta-P). The quite nature of water cooling is keen for me (old ears do not filter out noise so well anymore....) I see other AMD processors (FX8150) with a water cooler included, but not the FX8350? (googling came up short).... on Amazon or elsewhere for sale. I did find this: http://www.asetek.com/liquid-cpu-cooling.html suggesting on cost effective water cooling for the FX8350? James
