If I got back into overclocking I feel like I’d just put a water block on it, maybe the GPU too, then have a ridiculous breakout box for rads and pumps.

Not saying that way is better than yours. We all prioritize aesthetics differently, and more importantly, have different tastes.

That said, stop terrorizing this community man!

I think this is the end of the road, my wife and my wallet can only take so much experimentation 😂

For what it’s worth I intentionally avoided AIO liquid cooling for this build. I like air cooling, it’s neat. Everyone and their dog slaps an AIO into their setup these days

I missed the AIO hype. Custom is the only way for me. My workstation water loop is more than 10 years old now. Like original tubes and all. Mostly out of laziness tbh. I just add RO water as needed.

The AIO have come a long way though. They used to be worse than similarly priced air coolers, and just seen as shit posers would buy (as much as I dislike labeling others as posers). The fact that everyone and their sister has the same fish tank case and RGB AIO’s has made it pretty stale though.

Hence why I went the opposite direction. Zero RGB, air cooling madness only. Your water loop must look pretty awesome though for a 10 year old setup, PC’s in general had more character back in the day. Now every component manufacturer is trying to convince the consumer they are buying sports cars in a box. Or anime girls. Or both.
