When I was building up my loop and running into issues I kept thinking why did I even bother, almost gave up and stuck the megahalems back in but now im there im glad

Regret is too strong a word I think.

I'm currently thinking about a case change and the single thing that is holding me back is the loop, asides from that, nope.

For sure you run in to issues when your building a rig, but that is part of the interest for me.

As I sit hear with my PC nearly silent and temps right down the answer is most definitely no I never regret going water.

never regretted it and never will ... too much fun to be had at a geek level. If your even thinking along such lines then this hobble isn't for you or any one that does think like that.

Nope, never regretted any of the builds I've done with wc, however I do wish it was cheaper, and wish it wasn't an addiction, just as you think 'right, it's done. Sorted' something new comes out, or you see something in the MM and suddenly your re doing the loop!

Nope, never. I enjoyed choosing the parts, building it all up and turning it all on without any leaks. In the 6 or 7 years i have been watercooling i have never had a leak or any other problem.

Excluding the financial aspect, it's been an incredibly fun and rewarding experience.

I'd recommend it to anyone that's able to do it.

Dont regret it as ive wanted to do it for a while but its given me next to no performance increase as my overclocks are attainable on air its just quieter and cooler whilst doing it.

Has helped me stick with my rig actually as its more of a hassle to upgrade as I would need to buy the component and a block for it (GPU) and the added cost has kept my wallet closed a couple of times.

Cmon, that is because your PC have more radiators than my home

Water cooling is like any high end product in a pc if you want the best you PAY for it lol but it is worth it in the end i know my cpu stays cool even on the hottest days and highest gaming or testing loads

My only regret was letting the mrs find the credit card statement

Frozennova · 16 Sep 2013 at 21:49

No but I do regret going back to air cooling.

Drangueos · 16 Sep 2013 at 22:02

this is going better than I thought.

keikeimok · 16 Sep 2013 at 22:08

I regretted right after finishing the loop as I need to find again elsewhere that satisfaction I am having while building up .....I just love installing them and emjoy watching the temperatures ....>.<

No regrets! done my 1st 900d watercooled build this year. as others have said only thing that hurts is the wallet! and im finding myself constantly wanting to add more radiators and blocks to the build :/ its fun!
