to water cool or to not water cool

[cbiltsouris]

hey guys as some of you may know ive had one emotional/infuriating week, however i just thought maybe I should water cool my pc, i mean the d14 is great but hmmmblah's rig really inspired me to do a loop like his because looks so good. Now guys be honest with me if you think I should do it or not, after my disaster with the beast im quite cautious now tbh.

for each part im going to save my heart out so I can get some really good quality stuff but i do not want over the top fully hardcore extreme thing.

I don't have watercooling yet, just the H50. I am going watercooled though as soon as I save enough cash and finish up a few remodeling projects in my house (my bed is in my living room currently!)

I say go for it. There is risk involved of course, but if you take your time it shouldn't be any riskier than drinking a glass of water at your computer desk. I found an awesome build at xtremesystems.org I'm going to model my system after.

Sorry, matey, but what case are you using?

 

[cbiltsouris]

Silverstone raven rv01

Sounds like the case is optimized for air cooling. Unless you get an external LCS like the koolance systems possibly..

 

[cbiltsouris]

Yeah it is made for air cooling but no amount of air cooling could beat a custom

Water cooled system I know a guy who has an aragon 900 in his raven and it looks quite nice but I want it to looks like gareths

I'd stick to the Noctua if I were you, matey. Unless you can spend like £300 odd to make it a beast.

Typo: 200*

 

[cbiltsouris]

Just a thought here but I think I should save up and buy one part at a time? Thing is I want a decent amount if temperature reduction against my d14

 

[mayhem]

hymm you dont need to spend £300 on water cooling.

Typo, 200, matey.
