On the original question, as far as I can see a water cooling system is not allowed.
From the flowchart:
Start->Safety Hazard?-(no)->Bumper?-(no)->In Kit?-(no)->Exotic Materials?-(no)->Spring?-(no)->Pnumatics/Hydraulics?-(YES)->Off Cylinder Order Form or off-shelf suction cup?-(no)->No, it may not be used

A water cooling system would by hydraulic, by definition: "Of, involving, moved by, or operated by a fluid, especially water, under pressure"

On the subject of computers running faster when cooled, this is mostly true. Heat buildups cause slowdowns, it's a fact. Melting components don't run very fast. And Pentium 4's have a heat protection built in. If they start getting to hot, they will cut back power to run cooler, but slower. Most GPU's also run a lot worse when they are hot. The color and all stay fine, but FPS drops as the load becomes to high on the weakening compontents.

A cool system is a happy system.
