" List of parts". That spotify link xD

 

At any rate watercooling RAM and HDD's is not worth it at all.

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

No, it doesn't make any sense. Passive cooling is more than enough in most cases.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

@ , Unless your making a "show" piece, not really. There is no real temp gain on those parts.

 

It's more pure wank factor / epeen than anything.

MOBO: ASUS X79 Pro CPU: i7 3820 Ram: Corsair Vengence 32Gb 2133mhz (8x4) GPU: 2 x Sapphire R9 290 in X-fire PSU: Seasonic G series 750w Drives: 1 x 750 gig WD black, 3x WD Black 1TB, 1 x Segate Barrcuda 1 TB, 1 x Toshiba 2TB, Intel 520 240gig SSD Case: Enthoo Primo w/ Green and Blue LED lighting.

Nope, none of them of those components are worth cooling.

 

Only one I'd do besides the CPU and GPU(s) is the motherboard.

The motherboard, it depends on the environment and your case cooling. I have no experience with newer motherboards, but with my P8P67 WS and Z77 Extreme 4 I have ran into issues with overheating mosfets, which watercooling could fix (then again, a fan could probably fix it too if I had a fan pointed at them specifically).

 

RAM- It does not matter. Even on basic air cooling without a hearsink, DDR3 is fine north of 1.8V. Only reason to cool it is if ytou are going for a world record RAM OC.

 

HDDs, they stay cool anyway. Just pass some air over them and they will be fine (even this is unecessary unless you have 3+ HDDs stacked).

I water cooled my FX 9590 on a Asus Crosshair V Formula Z. Before I watercooled it I noticed my northbridge was running warm/hot because of the amount of voltage running through the vrms. At one point i had to wedge a fan over the vrms to keep them cool. If i wasnt running a 9590 or heavily overclocked 8350 I wouldnt worry about watercooling the vrms.

Even if your running a overclocked intel, the cooling effectiveness of air cooled motherboard is pretty good. If the motherboard has built in watercooling then you can use it, if it doesnt complicate your water loop.  

Ram doesnt need cooling, it doesnt get hot enough to slow down performance, same with HHDs. Both are fine with a fan blowing some air over them.

Hope this helps.
