Question Is running my Fans on full speed ok ?

[rekenukhh]

I recently set my fans to run at full speed in my bios - Is this ok ? Also is a watercooled cpu upgrade worth doing ? Since fixing my overheating issues my performance is great. But it can be cooler with water-cooling

Running all fans full speed all the time does NO harm to your system as a whole. The only down-sides are:
1. Fans will wear out sooner and need replacement
2. Higher noise level - may be quite acceptable
3. Minuscule increase in electrical power consumption.

If you system runs a good cool temperature even at maximum workloads, you will get virtually NO benefit by increasing cooling even more. The increase in component lifetime from lower operating temperatures is almost too small to measure, and failures due to other causes are far more likely to limit lifetime.

A liquid cooling system for the CPU is more complex and more expensive than a fan with heatsink. Some of these units fail earlier than a simple fan. When they do, your only choice usually is to replace the entire system at full price. With a fan and heatsink, the most common failure is the fan only, and usually that can be replaced WITHOUT replacing the heatsink or removing it from the CPU chip, so the fix is much simpler and cheaper. The major advantage of liquid-cooler systems is that the good ones can provide all the cooling needed for a CPU that runs at VERY high power most of the time and thus generates lots of heat. More common systems that are not at the ultimate performance level rarely need that much cooling.

The other advantage of liquid-cooler systems, many say, is that they may be quieter by a small amount. It appears that is NOT a concern for you.
