    [SOLVED] Advice on getting started on water coooling

    LMAO I want to be smart about it because it is cost / performance and that is why I'm asking perhaps buy everything but the CPU block? And just wait it out then became some parts are good right now and I'm not sure if it will go up .

    [SOLVED] Advice on getting started on water coooling

    Cool points to finish my InWin925 build that I started last year. Not even the pipes, GPU block, fitting, etc but the CPU block? Because some prices are really good right now.

    [SOLVED] Advice on getting started on water coooling

    I'm in Canada and my budget is $800, I'm planning on buying everything now but the CPU block just because I'll be upgrading my MB when AM5 comes out. What are your thoughts on this plan?

    [SOLVED] Getting a below average score on my 3080 on 3D Mark time spy. Anyone help?

    I just installed HWIN to detect temps on my m.2 and while installing a game the MP is at 36C, WD at 40C (seems to be staying there as normal temps were 38C but this makes sense as it's being used). However, now im not expericing any slugish so it's doubtful that it's the m.2, correct?

    Great post man, didn't know how to reply right away LooL, needed some time to digest. I do have a Stock cooler for my 2700. Would you recommend on OC, or perhaps upgrading to a Ryzen 7 5800x? I do plan to watercool in the future, just not right now. Your post gave alot of perspective, thank you!
