Hey.

 

Ive been looking on custom watercooling for a long time. Saw the silverstone tundra a couple of days ago, it fits my system well and got some nice reviews.

 

Is it alot of performance gain in custom vs AIO(Silverstone, Swiftech)?

 

Im only gonna cool my cpu from the start anyways.

 

And i really need a new router, new soundcard and a keyboard which i can buy with the money i save if i buy a Silverstone tundra 02.

I suppose you will be watercooling your GPU. What GPU do you have? If you go with the Tundra, you will have to buy another cooling solution, which will be the custom loop, then you'll have to figure out what to do with the Tundra. What's your budget? 

I like the color scheme of Noctua fans. Deal with it. Forget about the bad memories of the past.

AIO and custom cooling is a completely different experience. If you want to watercool go custom. If you want to have a cool CPU go for an AIO.

Feel free to PM for any water-cooling questions. Check out my profile for more ways to contact me.

Save your money and upgrade your other components. Custom watercooling is quite expensive. But if you want to cool your GPU, then you'd probably have to go for it. Personally, I'd forget custom watercooling if your graphics has a non-reference cooler. The Tundra will be good enough for CPU overclocking.

Oh... that's an understatement...

You'll be fine going with the Tundra then.

That custom water cooling setups are quite expensive...

 

I meant that was a huge understatement

So I would've been more correct saying "very expensive"? Didn't really wanna scare OP away from custom watercooling :P
