Right, so as of recently I've been bashing a few thoughts through my head for a 900d build full blown modding, custom sleeving, full custom loop, painted Sabertooth (If I can get one) but back to the question, I've been wanting to push my 2500k to 5GHz and I have, for around 5 minutes in the past though the temps were a tad too high for my liking whilst at 1.455V I was pushing one of the cores to 87'c under a Be quiet! Dark rock Pro 2 during prime95 so taking into account that the CPU would only ever hit around 65 - 75'c during gaming, reason for wanting a custom loop, put simply, I wouldn't mind getting into it as a hobby paired with the fact I love building and fiddling with my PC but I keep questioning myself, "Is it worth just buying a h110, H220, h110i for the convenience or just going with a new case, motherboard and doing some epic modding with a lovely colour scheme"

A custom loop would be what you would be looking for, but if you don't have the money, don't bother doing it and go for an AIO, such as the H220 (if you're not in the US).

I put in a nice section in the FAQ about this.

And I also read it last night, but I want actual opinions.

Point is, computers perfectly fine for now and when I eventually find a job I'll look into it further.

Or H320 which is looking like an awesome option ATM
