    @Cliff S, you need to come up with original ideas. This was published in 2011, just a little simpler than your way.

    Tooooo much moisture gets in the system that way, my way is (pardon the pun) drier!

    Since installing this new 7700k my temps have been a little higher than I like. So I've decided to upgrade a few of my fans. :) Some of them are only using a 3 pin connector, which makes it harder to control their speeds. So I am replacing them with 4 pin connectors. Already have 2 installed from few months back, but I still have about 3 more that use the 3 pin style. Order 2 more this morning. Also going to the 140's instead of the 120's. :)

    Hi,
    I got one of the twin packs they are pretty loud but only on load so it's not a big deal set at turbo in bios :)

    Also just added 2 other wind series pretty much that came with my case and I don't believe either is louder than the other but all 4 now are pwm and rated for 2k rpm

    Hooked them all up with one of these @AddRAM posted

    Don't for get he also has his 6950x under LN2 to get that score

    And really if you cannot cool the card with LN2 or DICE then you will not see much of a difference from any other Ti out there. Pascal responds to cold and not much else. Throw all the voltage you want at it.
    Ya his GPU score is 13230 but his I7 6950X is also up there at 14654. His memory clock is 6328 LOL.

    I have talked a few times with some of the guys on the EVGA forums with the higher scores who run single 1080's on air. They all had the same advice - 'just focus on keeping the GPU cool".

    I vote for the BenQ, only because I know nothing about AOC. They both look to be great monitors
