Hi guys. Right, today after a few weeks of trying to decide what needed upgraded in my system I realised the only thing I could do better on is the cooling. I've tried a few high end air coolers including the Noctua NH-D14 and a couple of the Corsair LLCs, the H70 and H100, which is in current use. All great coolers, but I've always wanted a proper loop.
So today I ordered the EK-KIT H3O 360 HFX High Performance Watercooling Kit along with a few bits and bobs to tidy up my HAF-X, including the full windowed side panel from the 932 Black Edition. I am only going to cool the CPU to begin with as the MSI GTX580 LEs use the awesome Twin Frozr III cooler but with the EK 360 kit I presume I have a lot of head room if I decide to watercool GPUs later on.
My plan is to attempt to do a push pull config on the rad using Akasa Vipers as the have awesome static pressure but I'm thinking the rad maybe too deep for this, but we'll see. I've never ever done watercooling before so hopefully I won't kill myself but even more importantly, kill the rig! Anyways, when all the bits come on Tuesday I'll get some photos up and beg for help!
Cheers,
Ross
