Quick question

I have a Define R5 case. I can afford to either put a 45mm 140mm radiator in the back with a fan or a 360mm in the top with no fans to passively radiate heat until I can afford fans for the 360. I now have a 30mm 240 with fans in the front to cool a motherboard, GTX 970 OC and i7 4790K OC. The water temp gets to around 105 degrees Fahrenheit while gaming, so I am going to add another radiator to keep it cooler. What would you do?

105F is 40C - that temperature is perfectly fine, you probably don't need more cooling

Pro Tip: don't use flash when taking pictures of your build; use a longer exposure instead. Prop up your camera with something (preferably a tripod) if necessary.

if you use retarded/autistic/etc to mean stupid please gtfo

Yeah, I know. That's a perfectly fine temperature.
