Modding an AIO

[JSind11]

So I thinking about buying an AIO for my system, because I want to have it water-cooled, no real reason, just simply the aesthetics of the tubes,

because of this I cannot be bothered to build a custom loop.

 

I was wondering how hard it would be to mod an AIO, to simply change the tubes for some clear ones, and the coolant for a coloured one?

shouldn't be too hard right?

 

I do like the Raijintek Triton, but the reviews have not exactly filled me with confidence.

 

 

 

 

 

What do you guys think?

 

from what I've heard most of these kits use standard fittings so hopefully wont be too difficult. 

 

Any suggestions on ones with decent pumps/blocks?, the rad doesnt need to be huge  dual 120's will be fine. 

 

Thanks,

This is a bad bad idea from what I have heard.

AIO are factory sealed. its a bad idea to open them and expect leak free. for gaben's love, please don't.

Get something from swiftech, as they are designed to be taken apart and expanded.

I would recommend doing this only on ones that can be expanded or have standard fittings, such as the triton, Fractal design coolers and swiftech coolers to name the ones I know of. You can do it with pretty much any AiO, but it's less likely to be successful in the long run.

Id say don't risk a aio, you will more than likely have leaks. Check out swiftech, they have some expandable models.

I've got a Triton and love it!  retail reviews are all from pissed off customers that got DOA products.  soon the satisfied customers will start reviewing.  I havent had any leaks or problems and I shortened my hoses to fit my build better, I haven't expanded into graphics cooling.   Raijinteks support is out of this world too, very responsive.  Test the thing outside the case first and make sure shipping didn't damage anything.
