    Pretty much every component can be watercooled these days.

    I once saw someone watercool his watercooling radiators.

    For a serious answer: Most logical victim is the CPU, next is the GPU or, if you're utterly loaded, the entire freakin graphics card :eek: Next comes the chipset (northbridge, southbridge, both under one big 'sink or both under a single small one if they're on the same die) and the final "common" victim is the battery of voltage regulators that function as the CPU's life support (a high-TDP, heavily OCd CPU draws a huge amount of power and the VRegs get hit hard!).

    After that its off to la-la-land :D Water-cooled memory, water-cooled HDDs, very rarely water-cooled peripheral cards (other than the GPU(s)) and in some sad, silly cases, watercooling for the first watercoolers' heat-exchangers (i.e. hooking the loop's radiators to another WC loop rather than some fans!)

    Haha yeah, the good ole days. I dunno how that would work with the heat todays toys kick out. I suppose if you wanted a chip fryer and a pc in one, its a good deal ;)
