    For the same price, I've had really good luck with the Corsair H80i series water coolers for my CPUs. And it frees up a LOT of space to work on things like inserting memory, etc. Lot less noisy, too. I do replace the fans that come on them with Noctua high-static-pressure fans, though.

    I would also agree that an AIO water cooler is, in terms of performance, going to be nicer than an air cooler, but I do prefer 240/280mm models over the standard 120/140mm unless someone is absolutely pressed for space, because you can run the fans at a lower speed and reduce the noise. Hell, on that case, you can apparently fit a 360/420mm radiator along the top, so there's more than enough room to go with, at least a 240/280mm option. No excuses, Lux, AIO water-cooling it is.
    Do not send me a PM if what you want to talk about isn't absolutely private.
    Ask your questions on the forum where others can also benefit from the information.

    Agree; the extra 3GB of the Ti is very handy with a 4k display now that Blizzard have increased VRAM usage. Mixed modes is an interesting idea!

    Yes you mean these new NF-A12 PWM fans - they are fantastic on radiators. I finally replaced my aging GTs and these Noctuas are quieter and with better temps. Although the beige thing doesn't go with my black and green theme, I don't care.
