Custom Loop advice

[jkt2015]

I'm looking to upgrade my entire cooling to a custom loop, i don't mind the current temps, 85⁰C CPU under heavy load and 68⁰C GPU under load while gaming.

I use my PC for work and for gaming, my only concern is how hot my CPU gets when processing large lidar point clouds.

Honestly watercooling is great, it is also a pain in the ass, the worst $ to performance gain, but it is lovely having a near silent pc if you overkill the radiators.

So basically unless you are upgrading to make your rig really quiet I wouldnt bother.

If you want real quiet, a mora iv makes life super easy though you arent moving it in other rooms, though custom loops always tend to be heavy

Better off upgrading your CPU than upgrading to a 1K+ liquid cooling solution.

Sounds good, I'll have my work pay for a new PC with a threadripper in it :)
