Bubble not burst I'm afraid. THE best and most efficient heat transfer from CPU to pump cold plate is when the temp difference is the greatest, agreed, which means the coolant should be the coldest as possible to efficiently do its job. Jay does not understand this, and it seems that neither do...

Arctic Freezers, I believed, have been 'the best' AiOs for several years. Just sayin.

You can do exactly that if you have an ASUS MoBo, as that is exactly what I do.

ASUSs Ai Suite 3 on my MoBo has this feature, and I use it to ramp up (and down, to a lesser extent) the rad fans over 12 seconds, so there are no noise 'bursts' of fans. I also use the same feature for the case fans too.

It is YOU who has things wrong Jay. It IS the CPU temp that matters, as THAT is what one is trying to keep cool. Yes, the water, or rather coolant is doing the actual job of transfering heat from the IHS to the cold plate of the pump housing then to the rad, so the coolant should be as cool/cold...

I don't believe it's a necessesity - and my last FOUR cars, dating back 2 decades, none had a temp gauge, and I din't miss it or feel any need for one.

I was quite disappointed with almost zero gain by 'upgrading' from my 280II to the 280III - maybe just 1 or 2deg better, so will wait to see if there's a 280III Pro coming soon (I can't fit this 360 into my case btw). Memes11 - how'bout it?

Very few AIO's have a water temp measurement and display function, especially the ones which are not priced in the rip off level! Also, when did YOU last see a car with a water temperature gauge?? My last 4 cars, going back 15 YEARS; NONE have had a temp gauge. My current BMW does not have one...

How'bout trying - remove the internal 512 WD SSD and replace it with the 'faulty' drive.

It IS called a G-Clamp! Any woodworker would know that, and refer to it as such, you pedant!

I presume your comment of loving the stock photo is sarcastic? I've been building PCs for well over 25 years, and I don't think I've EVER needed to use a soldering iron while doing so!!! I also have an anti stat wrist strap attached when handling static sensitive parts, like MoBo's, which this...

Maybe because it has no spinning fans or HDs to introduce electrical noise into th system? There must be some rational reason that's not mentioned , otherwise it's expensive BS.

That wasn't exaggeration, it was pure bollocks, or Trolling. Why even say such a dumb thing if you supposedly know better?!

What rubbish. Even a double album, uncompressed WAV would EASILY fit. I think ur getting ur Gb mixed up with your Mb! I have over 20 FLAC albums on a 32Gb stick!

Excuse my ignorance, but what is a dGPU pls?
