Let me preface this by saying that if I am missing something really obvious then sorry for wasting your time and feel free to make me look like the fool I am.
Alright here is something I've been curious about that I am sure somebody out here has a very good answer for and maybe some of you have the same question. I have always used air cooling for my setups and I am thoroughly impressed with some of the stuff out there, however water cooling not only works great but looks awesome in the process. I think it'd be cool to have simply for the sake of having the option to run with a higher vcore through my venice. Alright so what the heck do I want to know already right?
Why is it that the general vcore limitations are higher for water cooling than air cooling? I mean in theory if I have a cpu cooler that can match a water setup in terms of the load temps then why the max vcore difference? I get the idea that if I have water I am ok to take my vcore to 1.65 (or whatever your personal opinion is) but trying that on air is a big no no. If you know where I am coming from and have an explanation, i'd love to hear it. Thanks ahead of time everybody.
