I'll just tell you my situation, and you can see why I decided water cooling is for me. I can overclock my system from 1800+ to 2200+ speeds, but it requires ALOT of air cooling. It is also VERY noisy. My wife always shuts my PC down when I'm not around to get rid of the noise. I moved the PC from the bedroom to the den so we can sleep, but it is still very loud when going to the den to watch a movie. With the water cooling setup I'm building, I can continue to push my CPU to the limit while keeping my wife happy. The vantec fans only ptu about about 21dB. You can barley hear them at all. Also, I wouldn't mind trying to push the system up alittle more
Again, that is just my situation. Some people do it strictly to get the most out of there CPU. Others do it just because they can.
What you are asking is kinda like why some people mod their cars. It always comes down to some personal choice.
