Future Upgrades and Water Cooling Plans

Thanks! I agree, I like the order. I think it looks very clean. The only thing I'm worried about is if I flip the fans, the CPU VRMs and my SSD getting significantly hotter. Roommate is sleeping, so I haven't done it yet...

Looks great Noober, great job

Hi,
Not so sure about that one Noober
Right now the top rad is pulling most of the board and front rad heat across the vrm's
You could always simply add a fan over the vrm if needed I doubt you would need it though or just flip the rear top fan around as a intake too :)

lol, i just flipped them. well see what the temps are. i doubt it will be drastically different. also its not like i have any other options to orient fans and rads lol

Temps are pretty good with the fans flipped. hottest temp being the CPU. there was a mild increase in internal components. RAM took a hit, but its not terrible. i guess tomorrow, ill take the cpu block off, sand it like i did with the GPU, and re-paste. i may take the cpu out entirely and redo the delid process, but i doubt thats the issue.

Looks good Noober

THANK YOU!!!

Fixed the CPU temps! lol i took it apart completely, turns out when i initially assembled it, i had the heat spreader too high on the chip and there was also residue left over from the first time under the h100i. i sanded the block and IHS, temps seem much better now!

so this build is pretty much complete, just waiting on the RGB to come in, then ill post some official pics in the "show your PC" thread.


Thanks for all the help guys! very much appreciated!
