That's a pretty neat setup! I ditched my 3 screen setup years ago as it kinda lost it's appeal. How'd you find using closed loop water coolers? I've been debating on whether to get one for a while but not sure how complex they are to install etc. My case certainly has enough room and is advertised to support most water cooling solutions.

Dayo Posted November 23, 2016 Author Share Posted November 23, 2016 I really like mine, at idle it keeps the CPU at 30 degrees and that is with a 0.6ghz OC. As for installing they are just as easy as installing a air cooler, as long as you follow the instructions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May have to purchase one to keep my CPU in check. What games do you play on this beast? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dayo Posted November 23, 2016 Author Share Posted November 23, 2016 Current game is Overwatch/Shell Shock Live, before that was Star Wars Battlefront/Battlefield 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The upgrade from 32GB to 64GB wasn't much in comparison so I thought "what the hell" and just got it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
