I will buy the pc parts first and then in less than year I will buy the waterblocks. In my country, the warranty is void if I remove the gpu stock cooler so I will use it for 6-12 months to make sure that it works good when I load it as much as possible.

 

Sorry about the bad quality images, spent all my allowance on PC parts

Thumbs up for this build:D

I will never understand why people only watercool their CPU and leave the GPU(s). A video card is always the one that makes the most noise.

I think i said about it in my first post.

Thats why. There is a small sticker on one of the four gpu screws which I can't remove unless if I don't need the warranty. I chose phanteks casing because of all the space for radiators I have. They will be done in future. By the way, DCU II fans are silent but still not that silent under load.

seeing you got GPU waterblock in your list, makes me fairly interested, but why don't you just get the standard(cheaper) GPU's? since you are going to change the cooler anyway, saves some money on your side.

Anyway i need to use it for 6-12 months to make sure it works well before I void the warranty. So i choosed it. Anyways, there is not much difference in the prices when I compare it here.

hmmm yeah, in that case it isn't such a bad choice.

The peak is ok, that can be as high as 95c. But that average load temp of 60 isn't too cool :huh: for stock speeds.

 

It's only going to get higher too as the TIM under the IHS dries out

 

 

 

 

Great specs and nice build but the pics are poor quality. Get a lamp with a 'cool white' light bulb to make those pics easier to see

I am in malaysua, so the room temps here are always from 25 - 35 degree Celsius. I am not sure why the temp is not that cool.  

Any ideas ?
