I have Monsoon fittings in my rig right now, and I gotta say that while I love the aesthetic of the fittings, I CANNOT stand the poor design and quality. (I have the free center hardline with the dumb locking ring that needs to be glued to a pipe) I will not be purchasing fittings from them again.

 

Thinking of getting HeatKiller 200 Tube or EK 250 Tube. Leaning toward HeatKiller atm.

Bought a second Aquaero 6 XT (Blue Edition), Since I ran out of PWM channels on my first one.

Plus PPCS reduced the price recently + 10% off. I got it for a pretty good deal.

I might buy a second Flow meter to see if theirs any kind of drops from the start to end of the loop.

-------------

Looking into lighting now, Not sure what to go with CCFL UV or DarkSide UV Rigid lighting.

----------

Finally trying to plan out where to put the drain or Drains in the THW10.

CCLF lighting looks way better IMO

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

I'm thinking of turning the right side Bottom (Section behind the motherboard) into a accessories mounting part. Instead of adding another 420 Rad.

I already have: 560 x2 | 420 x 1.

but... but... but... more raddage is awesome :D
I do think you have a fair point though... you've probably crossed the point of diminishing returns with your total of 11x140mm fan slots :P

That and I need some space just incase I need add something else down the road. I would have some room to add it in the back( The the space would be for pumps and such.). I might a single or dual 140 (High FPI Rad, which would only turn on when CPU/GPU get very hot).

 

According to EK's builder. Two 560 (CE | which is thinner then mine) Liquid temp is at 24. Adding two more 560 would only give me 23. Using two 560 & a 420 would gives me the exact same temp. Not worth spending extra 180 dollars just for same result.

Totally agree with you bud!

I see no reason to add more rads for anything but wasting money.

Though your idea of single 140mm rads that'll only start the fans within certain temps sounds pretty damn cool!
