Cpu cooler!

[mgsdetail]

Hi all, is it worth keeping my Intel cooler and rad on it's own and water cooling everthing else? or should I just sell the Intel cooler and join it all together?

Go for a full loop. Much more fun and should perform better. I'm glad I got rid of my all in one and went full loop.

But the heat transfer from the CPU would be more surely? I know I will end up getting a full loop so it's all matching!
Could I use the rad I have already for some extra cooling, say putting that on the front and a SR1 360 at the top or is the rad I got at the moment not ment to come apart and won't support other fittiings.

I doubt the cooler would come apart to recycle. I have an overclocked 2600k and two overclocked 7950's in my loop with a 60mm 360 and a 120 on its own and my temps are better than when I had the CPU on a CoolIt ALC 240 all in one. Well not at the minute because its all in bits waiting for my recent graphical purchase to arrive

Ok then I'll sell of the cooler to help fund a full loop, only had it 6 weeks but after seeing other rig fully watered up I really need it myself.
