The race for quality has no finish line- so technically, it's more like a death march.

Video card: Zalman (Air) or Koolance (Water)

I think my AIW 9800 Pro is probably the one last thing that is noisy in my Prescott system. At first I thought that a water block from the cpu to the gpu would be a good thing but then I thought about resale value. Would it be better to go with this: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...118-211&depa=1 instead of water cooling the video card? More than likely when the X800 AIW is made I will probably switch to it. However, to remove a water block and then install another HSF seems wasteful. Wouldn't it be better to simply use the heatpipe? BTW: I have a 120mm fan blowing over the general area of the video card, mainly focused on the RAM and chipset.
