Ah, I see - you're far more of an enthusiast overclocker than I.
I came in late to the party; I was only really getting into PCs when Sandy was being released. The previous platforms seem far too complicated for my liking! I just like to get running as soon as possible, and having to juggle BCLK, memory speeds etc. around is not my idea of fun
I can however understand where you're coming from.

Got with a custom loop or a closed solution if possible. Just for better temps and longer lifespan of your parts.

How is it a waste of time?

I never said you should, I was just saying that watercooling is not a waste of time, perhaps in your case but not for everyone

Looks awesome, can be run quieter, can include GPUs and all that good stuff.
We're enthusiasts - we like stuff like watercooling.

Well with that you got you are only 7C from safety. Slap on an H40, H60, H80, and so on you can drop 5C+ or more. That will increase your overclock headroom and also give you a longer lifespan for your Processor. That is what water cooling isn't a waste of time.
I wouldn't ever set my volts to auto, it doesn't offer enough control and I've seen my motherboard ramp the voltage up to 1.49/1.5 trying to maintain an overclock when that voltage wasn't actually necessary.
I can't speak for the rest of the guys on here, but one of the first things I disable is speedstep, so I aim for the lowest stable voltage for a given clock. There is some work involved with overclocking still, although it's very much easier than with 1366 and earlier sockets.
Watercooling is a contentious subject, some don't trust it, some don't like it, some don't see the need at all.
I use it because I run both my current rigs folding 24/7, my 2600k is @ 4.8 Ghz with a high of 58 degrees over the last week, and my QX6850 is @ 4.2 Ghz with a high of 61 degrees over the last week. I couldn't get close to those temps/overclocks using my NH-D14.
