mate offered me his old watercooling bits so we decided to fit them up.

 

old apogee gtz waterblock, big twin 120mm radiator (60mm thick or something crazy), cheap chinese pump with res built in (hidden). all this for an extra 200mhz clock speed (might be able to go further) but it idles at like 30C when before it would be 40-50C idle.

 

 

When I go for a new CPU/mobo/ram I'll probably get a proper waterblock as we drilled the holes out in this one which was originally for socket 1366.

sweet  @skidxr6t 

Cheers! its not bad but my mates rig is the definition of sweet...

 

until it started leaking from the top radiator moments after filling the loop haha. got both radiators swapped at the shop as they were missing a part.

 

 

For my rig I'll get a new cpu waterblock when I do the mobo+cpu+ram and MAYBE use hard tubing but I really can't be arsed and like the security of a clamped hose.

 

I want to run white coolant as well if it's available.

HOLLY CRAP!! nice gear people I'm way behind. When the time comes I'll be heading for costume build now.

yeah im pretty jealous of the 1080TI and 1tb NVME SSD.

 

even happier that I watercooled my computer for free though! owe my mate a liter of distilled water hahaha

Run 2 512gb nvme in Raid0 for same size, cheaper price and "double" the performance

A second hand 1080ti should only be $600 in another 6 to 12 months. 

Probably - they're tipping the next gen will be released later this year

There must be a "gaming" card being released at some stage.
