Here are my questions, What new case should I get? Should I put a water cooler on my 750 Series SSD?  Should I make a custom loop for my GPU's and CPU?  The 750 Series SSD can run a bit warm on occasion, the Titan X's get warm under load, but I believe I won the silicon lottery with my 5960X.  Unbelievably the 5960X at 5Ghz OC'd has only ever reached 63 Celsius and a low of 42 Celsius.  Obviously these are big curves but they occur at different amounts of load.  I've been beside myself on water cooling because Linus is strictly air cooled but I'm still unsure.  As far as the case goes, I'm pretty much done with it, I'd like something new and this Cosmo II is pretty old at least from my perspective.

I'm playing my Xbone on 3 LG Curved monitors-No one ever

Please, read CoC it helps, it helped me it should help you-Every competent member

5ghz on a 5960x @63C with only a 240mm cooler :o :O :o??? I'd definitely go with a custom loop in a caselabs sm8. You could fit a 480 in the top and a 360 in the front. http://www.caselabs-store.com/merlin-sm8-case/

 

If your ssd is throttling, sure, get a block for it. If not, paint it (assuming it doesn't match your color theme).
