lose moar money at the end of the day.

eg. GTX780 RM1600 + WB RM400 = RM2000

Used 3 months Sell RM 1500 GC + WB = Nobody buy unless they wanna sli their rig. RM1500 for a used GC still expensive unless seller willing to sell the waterblock optionally.

bcos the pump itself waste more energy, smaller lithography for ics = lower heat most of the time, changing gpu is much more worth it

People who keep sidegrading, water cooling is troublesome. Those who stick with a target in mind, knows what they want and don't upgrade when there's minor architecture improvement introduced, hence less need to replace components.

I stuck with my target and I foresee my current rigs lasting me a few years and remain relevant within those periods of time. For sidegraders or constant replacing of parts, stick with air.

haha water cooler is too pricey for me to play, i bought a silverstone TD-03, used 2 weeks, water leaking, then i switch Noctua NHd15, quite impressive to see the different of noise level and temperature, and can compare to those high end water cooling. for me just easy to maintain and silent. save my time as well.

some more got 6 years warranty, so no worry on that.

Silverstone TD03 claim warranty already, and collecting dust in my room. =.=!!

haha i too was poisoned just as much with the Noctua DH15, somemore coming from my heavy weight air cooling myself (Thermal right IFX14), it was a no brainer.

however i've always wanted to try watercooling, and this is the best opportunity to go for it.
so i dumped almost 3k and went with my own custom built water cooling biggrin.gif

not quiting anytime soon as it's just so... awesome lol (i mean, paid so much, not awesome also say awesome la tongue.gif)
