Hello toby, you forgot angled fittings or PETG bending kit, yes? or you already have that, or are you familiar with borosillicate glass/brass tube cutting job? if you have that skill, please share (tools, steps, and guides).

dam i prefer air cooling not much difference between the two cooling a system do pretty much the same job. air cooling is quiet until you crank it up water cooling is creaky and noisy not putting you off up to yourself doe id be skeptical on water cooling as id always be thinking about it leaking over my i5 6500 and on to pc components. on £700+ pc not chance im taking
