Water will let you reach those overclock speeds that Air will not let you reach, but to be honest those speeds aren't all that needed. yea games and programs do get a little better the faster your CPU goes, but it's mainly the GPU you have to worry about.

like me, I have my Q6700 from 2.67 GHz to 3.66 GHz, and I can go to 3.7 GHz but then the temps are a little higher than I'd like. I can use it, safely. but I don't wanna be near my limit all the time you know. if I wanted to go to 3.8 Ghz or higher, I'd need Water cooling. but then any game or thing I do on a quad with 3.33 GHz is basically just as good as at 3.8 GHz, except for maybe benchmarks. so in reality, it's not completely needed. but for others it may be.
