I have been upgrading my rig recently that's why I haven't been around to much lately ,I replaced my mobo with the Asus z97 Sabertooth and the new Intel i7-4790k along with 2 gtx 780 hydro copper video cards.

Liquid cooling on paper sounds great but I have read too many horror stories about leaks and the damage they cause. For me to be comfortable with one it would need a way to guarantee %100 that this wouldnt happen and splash coolant all over the place. Both inside the computer and leaking out onto the carpet.

I agree. Not worth it.  With some good fans you can get the same performance for 1/10th the cost.

I have been Liquid cooling for the past 10 years and have had only 1 miss hap and it was due to my own stupidity,the only thing lost was my pws but that was because I didn't dry it out long enough.The key to water cooling is leak test ,leak test,leak test before you even consider turning on pc. Water cooling has come a long way since the start and the fittings and tubing have become more reliable.I also overclock my cpu and on water I can get a high clock speed than air and with my video card s water cooled I don't have to listen to the loud fans.

yea... but don't the radiators have fans?    You still have to listen to fans in the end.  And you're out $500  vs.  just using fans.

The noise difference between 2 gtx 780 at full speed and 12 radiator fans at full speed is a bigger difference than you think.
