So i managed to bag an MSI 1080ti FE recently, and it's pretty quiet, but I want it quieter as I was impatient and didn't want to wait for a custom solution, so I've decided to go down a custom WC loop and replace my current CPU AIO solution.
My last (and first) WC build I did was about 7 years ago with my i7 920 and Crossfire'd 5870's. I'll now be looking at cooling an i7 5870k that I'll start to look at OC'ing, as well as the 1080ti, and I've selected the following components, just wondering if anyone suggests anything different or anything I may have missed.
I know I've not put any 45/90 degrees in there, if I decide I need them during the build, I'll order at that point. It'll be going into a Lian-Li PC-08 case for reference.
Total: £573.54
I'm also a bit split on what to go for when it comes to controlling the fans seen as the case wouldn't allow easy access to a control panel, so was thinking about using a PWM splitter and controlling it via software within the OS. Just wondering how good this will be?
Thanks all!
