Hey LTT :)

 

So my rig is currently in a Ncase M1 and I'm itching for an upgrade. That itch.... 

 

I'm currently on a Kuhler 620 with 3770k, no OC, will OC once the new 600W SFX PSU comes out later this year

 

What kinds of gains would I be getting going from a CLC or even a high end air cooler to a custom WC loop? I never done any kind of custom WC

 

Is spending $300+ worth it? I'm trying to justify it somehow..

 

● Thermaltake Core P5 ● ASUS Z170-A ● Intel Core i7-6700k 
● EK Supremacy EVO ● 2x 8GB GSkill Ripjaws 
● EVGA GTX 770 ● Samsung 850 EVO 250GB ● XFX 750W Black Edition PSU

You're looking at $400+ for a decent WC setup

 

Unless you want to take care of it (general maintenance) and plan to actually put it to use... Stick with a AIO or a good air cooler

Is your rig at the best state it could be in? SSD etc?

 

Once you are happy you are going to use it for an extended period with no serious changes then go for it
