you can do it, I did all the work for you.

you should scratch the Worm Drive Clamps and change it to a bag of 4" cable ties because the Tygon 7/16" tubing is very snug the Clamps might end up doing more harm than good. Also add 3M Thermal Adhesive Transfer Tape if you can't find it or afford it I think Petra has some other brands you will need it for the BGA Ram Sinks the Tape or Pads that come with the MC14's are garbage.

Okay, I'll go water, but I think I want to discuss it later after I have figured out what I want in my case & the case for that matter (although, I think the one I have on the 1st post is perfect). Sorry, but thank you. Do you understand what I mean though?

This is my computer, There are many like it, but this one is MINE. My computer is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. My computer without me is useless. Without my computer, I am useless. :laugh:

I prefer Cooler Master or Silverstone, the Gigabyte case is popular for water cooling I think.

Look Bull, I'm sorry. I don't know anyones credentials on here & everyone says go for the water & you can do it. So, but IDK really. Are you like a computer engineer or something? I am going to try to get a computer engineer to help me though. My friends stepdad is a computer engineer for Ohio State University. I'm going to see what he thinks & if he can get me some components for cheap. But I do respect your opinions Bull. I just respect everyones & many people are telling me to go water, y'know?

I dont know how anyone can argue with water, its downright better, no arguements even possible. With water your guarenteed to run cooler and in most situations quiter too. Some people dont need water and there right. But water is not only good cooling but alot of fun when your done and a great accomplishment too.

Thanks!

Yeah, I was thinking sort of the same thing. I mean, I'm kind of scared, but you guys are quite reassuring about the water cooling. So...
