Yea, very tempted to go custom WC. $$$ aside, still require a lot of effort...a bit lazy Corsair H100i's performance discussion, vs Fan heatsink

QUOTE(llaw @ Jun 2 2015, 10:22 AM) My room is pretty hot, and seldom turn on air-cond to cut down electricity bill Of course if I turn on air-cond, the temp will drop another 5-10C. you can use nzxt g10 or corsair's addons, http://www.corsair.com/en/cooling/gpu-cooling (however need to check compatibility with h110)On nearly all real-world usage, my 4790K @ 4.6GHz will be below 70C at full load except video encoding. And yea, I'm using push-pull fan config. By the way, how do you mod H110 for GPU cooling? I'm interested in doing that as well i use g10 because i have bought it and it's compatible with asetek heat sinks (like h110). it's like this one in the tutorial at youtube, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=weV0FlahyDo |

QUOTE(psyduck89 @ Jun 2 2015, 12:10 PM) a day, only because i was rather clueless on how those primochill tubing work lol=edit= consider looking up my pictures on the main discussion thread. notice i added a damn nice drain valve so if i need cleaning/maintenance, that will be much easier This post has been edited by Quazacolt: Jun 2 2015, 12:13 PM |

QUOTE(Quazacolt @ Jun 2 2015, 10:54 AM) we know custom wc is king, and certain air coolers perform better than typical aio (putting aside other factors). these are just personal preferences, not about which beats which.i use aio because it's convenient to install and maintain, produce less noise, and it's sufficient enough to cool the cpu under loads. i don't need anything more than that. |

I'm living overseas and will return to KL soon for shopping PC parts, among other tasks. I'm interested in moving to an AIO cooling system for my GPU which I use for GPUGrid grid computing and considering the NZXT Kraken G10 with a Antec H2O 650 water cooler.
Where is a good place in PJ or KL to buy the above items? |

(it's the same area in red in the picture below) so i think the situation might not be as bad now. |

QUOTE(Quazacolt @ Jun 2 2015, 10:56 AM) put it this way, in ANY hobbies, there are diminishing returns. This.custom WC is just that: you spend loads more, and gain less. however custom wc is still going to beat AIO anytime any day; in fact, high end air cools like noctua (D15 anyone?) will rape almost all AIO like nothing, while possibly spending less! And I think WC is only justifiable if one goes for high end setup. No point spending on custom WC or even high end AIO only to use it for Intel Pentium. The headroom from air cooling to water cooling max oc is not that significant, compared to the significant price one pays. |
