I am building a new pc very soon (waiting for parts). i want water cooling in my rig for a mild overclock and want to ask a few questions.
1. Is this upgradeable and would you recommend a different set instead?
2. i would prefer to get compression fittings but want to know what you think? (I have heard some bad leak stories)
3. which is the best, a dye bomb, premix or distilled water? (i would like some color)
4. in the haf x there is a fan at the top can i leave it on?
5. with the top fan not cooling the case will the rest of the components be cool enough?
