DVD player is really only for school and work stuff in those rare moments I need it. I’ve had the Razer mamba in the past and it was a great mouse so I figured I would go with it again. The keyboard is more of a pickup after reviews I read on it.

Yeahhhhh paying regular retail but it wasn’t too big of a deal. It’s not that much more money to have a physical full copy.

I would of spent the extra on a EVGA CLC 280 over the h100

Everyone seemed to refer me to the h100 so I figured that was the best route to go for the money. The 280 is only like $5 more.

Kind of just the sweet spot bang for the buck in terms of AIO coolers.

Its got better aesthetics imo and under load is cooler.
The trade off is noise apparently but I haven't noticed much difference then again the rig I put two in both had after market fans.
Though a 280 rad should be better then a 240 rad and the larger fans should run at a lower db since they push more air.

Your case does support the 280 rad so if your not opting for a 360 rad AIO why the fuck not.
I know the cooler runs quite a bit more here in CAD land last i checked.

So something like this would suit me far better going forward?

Or would going with the consair clc 280 be better for space?

From what i recall its on par with the x62 but 1 degree lower.
I don't recall the db levels though, If your goal is a stupid high oc then be ready to delid and your better off with a custom loop.
But the x72 SHOULD be quieter then the 280 and 240 rad model aio's, though this comes down to the stock fans they come with.

If your dropping 200$ for no real gains might as well jump in on a EKWB EK-KIT L360 kit this way you can expand later down the road.
Plus you'll at least see real gains with this kit.

nvm lagged

But if I did look at the x72, do you think it would fit in my case okay?
