Hello all,
I am sure there have been many of these, but would be very grateful if you could drop your 2 cents here.
I am thinking of making my first watercooling rig, main reasons:
I like messing around with my PC + I hope to keep my rig just above room temp.
Current PC set up:
Asus Max vi impact + 4670k
H100i currently set up with 2 white NZXT silent fans on Pull
2x8GB hyperx 2133 mhz (CPU cant handle more due to bad ICU)
GTX 780 Phantom
Corisair obsidian 350D
SS Strider silver 750W
Other crap: Evo 840 250GB, 1TB 2.5" WD Blue, other fans 2 140mm intake (forgot brand, theyre quite silent) and 1 white nzxt silent 120mm, all managed via mobo software voltage control
h100i is exhausting heat, but GPU is dumping partially heat into it, so when I play games and GPU pipes out hot air into the case CPU temps are partially affected by that. so when I play CSGO i cap it at 65fps (otherwise GPU goes nuts) CPU is around 45C and GPU around 50C with ambient 25C.
When PC is idle it's silent, when playing games it ramps up a bit, mainly the GPU fans. So to shut it up:
1. I am thinking to swap out the h100i and gpu stock cooling with a mcp355, 2x280mm black ice nemesis GTS and 120mm black ice nemesis rads, all cooled with SS penetrators (maybe aerocool DS fans as they are red and perform similarly), some red nebula coolant, black fittings and acrylic tubing...
2. much cheaper solution is to stick a H55 onto my GPU using a custom mod or a kraken G10.
I have loads of fans kicking around doing nothing, Aerocool DS120mms, SS Penetrators 120mm, SP120 Perf 120mm, 80mm xilence, AF 140mm and loads of stock corsair static pressure as well as air flow ones.
Please leave your thoughts here. Thanks in advance!
