Not playing it, don't really play that type of game.

So decided on the Fractal Define 7 XL case for my system, to cope with the Water Loop.

At the moment it doesn't look great, when I eventually get the block for the GPU or buy a different card with a block already on it, then I will be doing the loop over.

Will probably end up buying a shed load of Hard Tube to practice on a lot before actually attempting a loop, or just find someone who want's to earn a few beer tokens to do it for me as it's something I think I will mess up badly :hehe:

At the moment I know it's overkill for just the CPU but eventually with the GPU added in, I think it will cope nicely with the extra load.

Got the output from the Pump/Res combo currently going through the Motherboard Tray up around the back of the case and then back in near the 8-Pic CPU power plug and in to the CPU block, from the CPU block to the Top Rad and then from the Top Rad to the Front Rad, then back in the the Pump/Res combo.

I do understand now though why more and more people are going with Hard Tubing and AIO's, because Flexible Tubing is a PITA!!

Good thing though was no leaks so yay, now just got to let it bleed fully over time.

CPU is still going up to 75c which is the limit I have set in the Bios but it's now boosting to 4.45Ghz and staying there on a multi-core workload, compared to the AIO where it was fluctuating between 4.2Ghz and 4.35Ghz.

*EDIT*

Also making a start on the Hard Tube, just ordered this lot.

Downsized my case and to a 5000D and got new fittings/tubing to go for a different colour scheme, well please with the result!

Just need to find an enclosure to fit the Aquaero to.

The fans are the Lian-Li Uni SL 120's, they are really nice fan's and easy to install thanks to them "Clicking" together.

I went all out with this one.... a coffee grinder that I'm going to use to also grind up peanuts, Walnuts, Almonds etc... a whole £15 !!!

Enjoy tho!

Not the best choice but given the price drop i found, I was too tempted.

Pure luck on the deal, but sadly my Maximus IX gave up the ghost during a simple TIM replacement. CPU block screws sheered off and no longer made good contact on the CPU

Out with the old

In with the new..ish

In todays market, I don’t really see an issue going with Intel. The fact is that they’ve been out longer and have more stability than AMD. They are more reliable in that sense, this is what I’d like to believe any way.

In the end it’s our wallets and the deal it all comes down to, if you got a nice deal on it, who’s to say that it’s bad for you? If you’re happy with it, all good
