BitMaster Posted May 23, 2016 Posted May 23, 2016 Nice work and looks ;) 1 thing I would personally not do is mount such a heavy cooler with a questionable 2-screw setup in a 90° angle. The weight of the cooler is one thing, the lever you gave it to work on your mobo is another thing ! Why not watercool elegantly ?

cichlidfan Posted May 23, 2016 Posted May 23, 2016 I have been using large Noctua air coolers for years. I am carefull if I have to move them and have never had a mobo failure. Of course, I have also never had a water leak inside a PC, either. ;) ASUS ROG Maximus VIII Hero, i7-6700K, Noctua NH-D14 Cooler, Crucial 32GB DDR4 2133, Samsung 950 Pro NVMe 256GB, Samsung EVO 250GB & 500GB SSD, 2TB Caviar Black, Zotac GTX 1080 AMP!

agrasyuk Posted May 23, 2016 Posted May 23, 2016 Nice work and looks ;) 1 thing I would personally not do is mount such a heavy cooler with a questionable 2-screw setup in a 90° angle. The weight of the cooler is one thing, the lever you gave it to work on your mobo is another thing ! Why not watercool elegantly ? The weight of the cooler is transferred to backplate which spreads the load. These are very adequate setups. There are enough reasons for and against water. Mechanical load of heavy cooler is not one of them. Anton. My pit build thread . Simple and cheap UFC project

The weight of the cooler is one thing, the lever you gave it to work on your mobo is another thing ! Why not watercool elegantly ? This is one of those many many things I looked into while designing the build. This build was a first for me, and I probably spent four months researching everything. Because when I started looking into the build I literally knew nothing about the internal components/workings of PCs. When it came to budget I knew where I wanted the money spent, so for coolers it was a set range. At the end I was comparing this cooler to a water cooler. Both were almost exact in performance, price, and quality. So I made my decision based on personal ascetics...to me PCs with water cooler's look empty inside in the case....I knew from the onset I wanted it to look 'cool' so the big twin blower fans and chrome cooler fit well with the build. Wish I had some cool stat or comparison fact to throw out, but that's the reasoning. :thumbup: [sIGPIC]http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn266/JINX1391/jinx%20f99th%20sig_zps2hgu4xsl.png[/sIGPIC] "90% of the people who actually got to fly the F/A-18C module there (E3 2017) have never even heard of DCS or are otherwise totally undeserving pieces of trash." -Pyromanic4002
