Hello,

I have a Q6600 Intel's processor and I would like to overclock it to 3 GHz+. I was thinking about buying Tuniq Tower 120 Ultra Silent which I can get for only 50€! And the cheapest water cooling for CPU is 100€ which is at least double the price. But is it worth? I could save those 50€ and buy a Lachesis mouse or something...

I'd like to hear your opinions. Basically if I can get near 3.5 GHz with Tuniq Tower 120 Ultra Silent, it will be enough for me. The main reason for overclocking is the god sake of fun and curiousiness of exploring these overclocking stuff, but on a side note it's lovely to get a slightly faster CPU performance ;)

Most coolers are silent too, he can get a good cooler like TuniqTower and save some $ and spend it on a more important part
