yes but you see, he said he wanted the ultimate comp. this cant even touch the ultimate, but its a damn good consumer pc. so phase change, although not necessary, should still be here. besides it may increase performance slightly to have an extremely cool cpu. and if you wanna oc, i do believe you would want watercooling for your ram, seeing as how the processor and ram need to work together and all. besides, if he wants a good pc he has to do some work at least, and setting up water cooling like that would be some work alright.
