I would if it could.



Doesn't look like much. I use Enermax 120mm silence fans.

Would be pointless though. Most CPUs are limited by volts, not heat.

Yes but couldn't hurt to run it cooler at that limit.

Yeah. You could get away with a 360mm + 240mm setup for the whole system. I run video card and cpu on a single 360mm just fine with low RPM fans.

Can't wait to start making some progress with my PC. Have to wait over 8 moths yet, though.

If I run into dead end, I will come and ask you about it along others

No problem. I love hardware My pc isn't the most insane or anything, but it's not bad by any means. I went more practical with it. I could have went Quad SLI and all this other shit, but what's the point other than flashing my wallet...

Running

I-5 3570k@4.8ghz
8GB AData Ram
GTX 670 @ 980/1150/6400
Asrock Z77 Extreme mobo
256GB AData Solid State Drive

Water cooling is mostly XSPC stuff. Blocks, Radiator, and compression fittings. They're pretty nice for being somewhat cheaply priced. They're like half the price of EK blocks / radiators but less than 5C performance difference. Their fittings are insane! I can't pull the tubes off of them once they're on. I literally have to cut it off with scissors if I want to change the tubing.

I can add my one to hardware love. I am not using my PCs potential right now but I upgrade and build it for the sake of it. More like a design element in my apartment than actual tool.
So far, I have just pulled off enough money to build something worthy to look at - 3570K running at 4.2Ghz 24/7 but pushed to 4.6Ghz with 212Evo for benching (note that I reached this clock @ 1.092V only), Z77 Pro3 mobo, 8Gigs of Corsair Vengs ram clocked to 1866 CL9 (no point in that), Sapphire HD 7850 at 1050/4800 every day clocks and 1193/5100 for benching (lost the silicon lottery, it clocks like shit tbh - have seen ones going over 1300core and this is insane), one 120Gigs EVO ssd and 1tb WDBlack (SSD for OS purposes only) and some cheap-ass case that allows me to manage the cables somewhat and is built half-decently.

Main upgrades will be new case along with PSU (looking at define r4 and seasonic x 650watts modular for easier sleeving), GPU that could clock well (280X from MSI, likely), another 8 Gigs or RAM (believe it or not, I have ran into low RAM issues playing BF3 so this is what I cannot stand), UD5H motherboard (hoping upgrading to a better mobo would let me go higher with clocks) and a loop. Hopefully 1k€ budget will fit once I sell old parts - if not then around 1.5K€ will be sufficient.

I have limited access to XSPC products in my country but plenty of option from EK. I am still betting on getting blocks custom-made but if not, what ever can happen, EKWB would be no step-back. Money won't be a big issue, I am sure of it. Going for blue/black color-scheme - only thing that is blocking my way on it, is my CMS Quickfire Rapid that has MX Red switches and therefore red leds and caps backplate (Gross, I know).

Fittings are supposed to be tight

Damn you PCfags need to get a room.

Damn you graphic nerds, what is with all the hate?

I don't understand anything you post and it makes me feel bad.
