Dark Side Reloaded

Key features

Intel CPU AMD Graphics Water-cooled

The build

It's a upgraded version of my current rig, change the exhaust side panel fan for intake, also change the standard black 120mm fan for a 120mm blue led. the PC runs quite cool, but are kinda noisy too, but since I use it on my little bussiness, I can barely hear It on a work day. Hope you like it. oh!, and I'm almost forgot, this rig was made in MEXICO.

Thanx for the reply, and yep I use the CM Aquagate Duo Viva, and uisng only one block :P

Why?, It's 'cause I bought the Aquagate S1 (if I recall right) but the store runed out of stock and they weren't sure if It will be on sotock again, so for the price of that cooler they changed It for the Duo Viva.....a shame that I didn't buy anything better, but since It's my first WC kit and at that time I had a tight budget...I think It was a correct choice.

This WC kit performs a little better than my past HyperTX2 air cooler.

LOL...totally agreed with u bro..my 1st WC kit also from coolermaster,but i give till one time i pre-order the aquagate max,the latest WC kit from CM in singapore,at 1st they agreed and the thing arrived but just bcoz i late for few days they intend to just sell it to other customer who visited their shop.So i give up and go for high end WC diy kit...is more fun,flexible and more to choose,lol im still a supporter of CM as im a fan of their casing and cooling....

thanx for the reply, I already sold the case and the board for a NZXT Lexa Blackline and a GA-EP35-DS3 respectively, if you reside in Mexico I could solded it to you.

anyway, keep telling your dad 'till he tires of you or buy it yourself, It's not that expensive this model, I saw It on newegg for 70 bucks.....here in Mexico all are more expensive so I paid for It 110 bucks 6 months ago.
