gst and weak currency.... not really best time for us consumers >_<;

ironically when we become frugal with spending as a whole, that just digs us into further trouble    it's a cycle.

700 is alot :{
just see this
using the Amd R9 Fury x as an example because of the size of the card using hbm (hopefully pascal is this size)
https://shop.ekwb.com/ek-fc-r9-fury-x

113.99 USD = 441.829 MYR

1 USD = 3.87603 MYR
so the pascal would be somewhere around 2400 ish + 450 ish. Still better than 700 ish :/
If our currency becomes 1:4 thats gonna hurt 
the 980ti water block not much difference in price
EK-FC Titan X - Nickel
https://shop.ekwb.com/ek-fc-titan-x-nickel
125.49 USD = 486.243 MYR

PS: never mix metal whens possible. as water circulates other time it will rust..... and thats whats gonna kill your radiator by making holes. So if you do have mixed, then your gonna have to use anti rust coolant as a safety precaution.

not really an expert but i am vaguely aware of the galvanic issue

i'm using a copper radiator and cpu waterblock
1 x Feser X-Changer Triple 360 mm Extreme Performance Radiator - 15mm Spacing


1 x Swiftech Apogee XT CPU Waterblock

unfortunately when i bought my 680gtx waterblock i forgot to check the metal type.... i ended up getting/using a nickle/acetal. however thankfully...

  phew dodged a bullet
anyway i use plain distilled water.
i prefer a simple setup. Sure i could have put anti rust, but that takes maintenance to change out..... and even worse is colored coolant because overtime it becomes gunk like slimish. Needs to take out the whole radiator to shake out the slime, and replace......

thats why simple effective setup is best.
I use 2 of this 99.9% silver kill coil inside my water reservoir to prevent algae from growing

and this tygon silver lined tubing

water cool cpu and gpu makes the most sense. you can reduce the rev up noise from fans when pc is underload.... also good for pcs like mine which is left on 24/7

and even though i use 6 radiators on my radiator, i set to low medium, can hardly hear pc make noise at all

if you want to save money, maybe can skip out on gpu waterblock (which is much harder to support newer gpus in future).

and just get cpu waterblock only. depends how much you willing to spend every 4-6 years when your replacing your gear (for which you may need to buy a compatible waterblock for the part as well   )
yeah moogle... spreading the poison whether it be mechnical keyboards or water cooling 


by the way the latest game i'm playing lately is magic the gathering duel origins. this game even at ultra settings the aliasing is so bad.... despite having some good still graphic images ..... it's game developers that do crap like this that makes me wonder even bother get top of the line graphics card 

The day Malaysia gets snow is when the world will perish... logically and scientifically speaking.

But on a more on-topic note, I don't know where the assumption comes from if snow = super low temps for PC? Okay sure, definitely lower than in hot countries but the perception of living in a cold country and having low temps on PC is wrong. I stayed in the US during winter, several times. Guess what? We have to turn on the heaters.

The house is actually dryer and hotter with the heaters than in Malaysia where you'd just have the fan on instead. Ironic? Yeah.

Don't turn on the heaters? Well, if you enjoy wearing 3 layers of clothes, then be my guest.
Also, one of the main reason for going water is for looks. I don't know why people found it pleasing to have 2 AIOs in their system, it's so tacky and n00bish looking. I mean, I'm not trying to even sound like a snob here but it is what it is. Might as well just optimize for air cooling instead, because good air cooling is nearly as effective as AIOs (in some cases, even better), cost less and guess what? It won't break (where as AIOs will, just read up the numerous amount of stories about AIOs dying prematurely).
