Yes, I have the same heatsink and it is great (though my fan is a better 80mm
tornado...)  Still, it only holds true when your ambient temperature is
reasonable.  Turn the heater on in the room and raise your ambient above 25c and
watch things go south.  Watercooling is much less elastic to ambient temperature
than air cooling.  Hence, www.overclockers.com's statement only holds true when
ambient temperature is below a certain level -- probably 25-28c.

(After awhile, you're just blowing hot air...) ;)
