Hello all! Does anyone know the significant differences between Stage 2 Liquid Cooling and Stage 3 Liquid Cooling. I am in the process of researching my eventual purchase of a DS computer. What extra benefit would I get from Stage 3 LC for the price difference compared to Stage 2 LC? Thanks for any help! *I do plan to overclock the I7 920 CPU I am going to select. What an awesome deal DS offers!

In my time here watching posts scroll by on liquid cooling the CPU, generally the only solution I see recommended is the level 3 solution when the i7 is the processor. I believe the heat output of the i7 may well overwhelm the lesser level 2 solution.

either go air with v8 or Noctua NH-U12P or go frostbite, the rest will be equal to one or the other.
