yep! liquid cooling is the way to go, buddy, you'll see the results trust me! The AIO's come with pre-applied thermal paste so you don't have to worry about applying it yourself with your own paste. Just screw that bad boy into your CPU and connect some cables and boom your golden.

You should look into this one from NZXT NZXT Kraken X42 RL-KRX42-01 140mm All-In-One Liquid CPU Cooling ... it depends on how you want to configure the setup and what type of case you're gonna be rockin'. The link I gave you is their new line of AIO coolers. However, if you can set up a DUAL fan AIO cooler in your case i would highly recommend these two h115i 280mm rad or h110i 280mm rad.

glad I could help! BTW you'd only run into those problems if you do a custom water cooling job. This is something I'm actually gonna do next year I can't wait I'm gonna liquid cool the CPU, GPU, and RAM. I am currently water cooling my 1080 LOL I voided my warranty on it because when I was gaming it was reaching temps of 80-85c that was UNACCEPTABLE for a brand new card. So I took it apart and used the NZXT Kraken adapter with the NZXT single fan radiator (in a push-pull config) and took my chances now it idles at 29-30c and under full load never goes past 40! cut the temps in HALF! I am curious to hear about your GPU temps when you finish your build, keep me informed bud!

Well, you can go with traditional AIO liquid cooling from reputable brands like Corsair and or NZXT. I have both! Completely hassle free. (in terms of dealing with leaks because you don't mess with them at all like a plug n play situation). However, I don't have an air cooler but I have read good things about the Noctua NH-D15 6 heatpipe with Dual NF-A15 140mm fans and the be quiet! BK019 DARK ROCK PRO 3 Silent wings CPU Cooler 250W TDP. So maybe you might like to research those but I wouldn't pick anything over liquid cooling my rig just my 2 cents.

I had asked NOCTUA if I would be able to run 2 of these fans Noctua 120mm NF-F12 3000 PWM off of one 15w channel on the NZXT Fan controller I have installed this one NZXT Sentry LX but they haven't replied back yet do you guys think it would be possible to do this?

Thank you all for the fast replies! They were very informative!

Hi all, I was wondering if any of you have any recommendations on where I can buy this type of fan splitter? I've been looking on amazon but no cigar. I need a 3-pin female to (2) 4-pin (male) splitter fan cables so that I can run 2 Noctua PWN fans off of my NZXT fan controller.

DUDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! THIS IS SOOOO FU&*KING SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JESUSS CHRIST!!!! I might just have to check myself into a hospital and get IV cooled LMAO!! how much did the WHOLE entire project run you?!

so before i clear CMOS should i drop the bios update file i want to use on a usb thumb drive and then boot up with it? in bios?

Hello all! So i finally built my first ever PC (Gaming PC at that) and i just recently updated the BIOS on my mobo using "AI SUITE II" and when i go into the bios for more than a few minutes it would completely freeze up on me causing me to hard reset or power off/on again. I wonder if it could be a faulty board? because it works fine when i'm not in bios.....i also noticed that when i updated the bios through this program the file that i loaded as the bios update was named " CROSSHAIR-V-FORMULA-Z-ASUS-2201.CAP " and i did some reading on my mobo manual under bios setup and saw that i have to rename all bios update files to the name "C5FZ.CAP" before installing...so my next question would be how do i re-flash the bios after I've renamed the file? can i even do that? and its not like the bios didn't update with the original file name because i can see the current bios Version 2201 with a release date of 03/23/2015....i'm not sure if changing the file name would make a difference but hey you never know i guess. I apologize if these questions sounds noobish LOL.. because this is my first build and its not even a week old.
