@Crunchy Dragon consider it done. Thanks for the help.

I think this idea has a chance but their idea is probably flawed. Why is the water block only mounted on the bottom of the PCB? Why not in like a go all the way around, eliminate the fan all together and try to cool all four sides of the PCB at once.

For gaming I would suggest the 2 physical cores at 4GHz, because as Linus has said many times games are difficult to parallelize.  This has to do with how games are reliant on user input rather than a specific line of code that the computer knows how to execute ahead of time. More cores will not help you if they don't have anything to do. If all the work is being done by core #1 or #2 then #3 & #4 are there twiddling their virtual thumbs.
But if you are looking for productivity, like image editing and rendering, the more core less GHz CPU will benefit you more. Hence the whole line of Xeon and Extreme Edition i7 CPUs aimed at servers and content creators.
