I water-cool all my builds, and im using the TJ11, so it would be a waste to not watercool.

I haven't found use yet for water-cooling since regular fans keep my systems just as cool. I guess the pretty colors are neat to look at though.

This build is a cosmetic build, the added performance of water doesn't even bother me, the fact that im using the TJ11 basically forces me to watercool, which im just fine with :)
There will be no pretty colors in my loop, you won;t see the water as im using copper-nickel piping.

No cheap leds for me, i got something special coming up ;) :D


Anyway guys lets keep the replies to a minimum, don't want this becoming a debate or off-topic thread, thanks.

I'm a bit worried about using water-cooling in case it leaks for some reason. I have everything OC'd in my system and my fans keep everything just as cool as water-cooling. I do use aftermarket GPU and CPU coolers though.

even msi's twin frz4 cant keep an oc'ed crfx cards under 60 c's at full load and there the cream of the crop when it comes to after market gpu pcb's and coolers

leaks are non existent if u get compression fittings and u cut properly and uless ur buying crap water loops ur temps on avg are going to remain at or below ambient temps when idle and cpu wont go past+10 c to ambient and gpu 15 is what ive noticed on most loops

My OC'd 570 is 30C right now running like 3 games and a bunch of other stuff. If I remember correctly it only went up to like 45C under full load test. I must have a great aftermarket fan then.
