Same reason as me then, most air coolers were too big, the smaller ones don't offer the same amount of cooling, and if you want to overclock then liquid coolers are the way to go, my CPU temps have dropped by 15-20 degrees C at full load going from the stock Intel cooler to the H45.

Real men go full water cooling

It's not worth it to go full water cooling unless you can already afford a 6700k or better and a 1080/titan XP AND THEN water cooling stuff on top of it.

Oh how wrong you are

EK predator add 2 fittings and a gpu block.

sets you back about 350 ish and your whole entire system is done.

Thats good to hear!



No need, but thanks for chiming in.

Liquid nitrogen cooling, or gtfo.

3 psus for that shit LOL

That dude sets some nasty records.

That build was for the 3DMark record, I believe.

so you're telling me a 6600k and a 1070 with custom water cooling will out perform a 6700K and a 1080 with standard aircooling and a 212+

$350 is roughly the Delta between those 2 parts combined. Please explain.
