Hi Guys,
I'm looking for a little advice, I'm not sure what to do,
Should I keep a custom loop for my upgrade or switch to a Air or AIO cooler.
I have a custom water cooling set up (360 black ice stealth rad, phobya 450 pump and 250 res, EK supreme original water block 1/4 compression fitting), which I was hoping to use with my upgrade but the water block has been discontinued
im not sure if i can get the mounting plates, I've sent EK a email but had no reply, so i may need to buy a new block, I will also have other basic costs like new tubing, coolant ext and my other parts are a few years old, So Im taking a look to see which would be the best option for me, buy what is need or switch.
I thought I would wright a few pros and cons that may help me if anyone has any suggestions please let me know.
Air
Pros
Little to no maintenance.
No leak worries.
Will last you much longer
Cons
Size wieght
CPU Clearance, overlapping ( ram, pci ext )
AIO
Pros
CPU clearance
looks good
Cons
Will not last as long
Custom
Pros
Can be customised, upgraded
Better looking
Should be cooler
CPU clearance
Cons
Cost
High maintenance
Leak worries
Because its custom you cant be sure its cooler unless you compare.
Does anyone know if thermalright stopped supplying to companies in the UK ?
Which would I be better off doing ??
