Baby's First Water Cooling Loop
Title says it all. I have built dozens of PCs, but this is my first shot at a complete loop.
Goals for this build were....
Overall pleased with the finished product. Originally the system only had one thick 360mm radiator, but I felt uncomfortable with everything being on one rad so I added the additional 120mm rad that I had from another project.
Idle Temps: CPU (33) GPU (30)
3DMark Stress Test: CPU (64) GPU (44)
Goals for this build were....
- Minimize empty space in the case.
- Get at least somewhat better thermals than my air cooled components.
- Not break my GPU while putting a water block on it.
