Debating whether or not to get a loop for it. Temps will do down about 10-15c

I wouldn't bother. Even if you add another 50Mhz -100Mhz with water cooling the performance scaling won't be worth the added cost. I do see you have a NZXT G10. You should invest in this heatsink  though. I will help your vrms temps quite a bit.

i can only imagine that it costs a shit load

Yeah its not cheap, and i think in some pplaces you have to have a license to buy, depending on how big of a tank you get.

Well it gets expensive if you do it all day long but a little bit isn't too expensive.

Much better. I need to get some of that LN2 goodness...

u can get it at whole sale price at wallmart 

its normally geared towards emergency circumstances such as freezing a model T-1000 so you can throw it in a cauldron of melting steel

 

you never can be too careful
