Okay there's that one.

I swear there's no Echo frame with integrated head tube. They're all standard head tubes.

What's in SMC for me? Noodz of senior members?

I don't know how to prevent myself from having a girlfriend. Asian persuasion.

Is your sister single? I'm not single.

Imma stick with W7 for a while still. Works perfectly fine for me. I need to get some light strips or something to go in my case. Only thing lit up in there at the moment is the Corsair sign on the CPU block.

Actually never mind.

Neat eh? Nah they are the 660 Superclocks I got back in late 2013. Definitely going back to a single GPU though, just played 10 minutes of Alan Wake and the top GPU was pushing 60 degrees, bottom just over 50 degress. The reference design isn't really suited for SLI in this case/mobo.

Pretty much sorted. A few cables to tidy up inside. Overclockers was nice enough to upgrade the 2 Noctua NF-F12s I ordered to the IndustrialPPC ones for free as they were out of stock so I stuck them on the radiator. Then used my existing NF-F12s up top. Not sure if I reaaaally need the two 120mm fans up top since the case has plenty of vents anyway. They're pulling air in and the radiator fans are pushing air out. Selling the 660s and going for a single GTX970. All fans are set to 1:1 temp/speed in BIOS. CPU temp idles about 23 degrees. Top GPU about 30 degrees, bottom GPU about 25 degrees.

First thing I thought of was A BROCOLLI. Cos that (chefs hat?) looked like a broccoli to me...

Gaaaawd you're so clingy.

I love free upgrades when an item is out of stock.

Nothing wrong with an extended range guitar. Just cos it has 2 more strings doesn't make the player any less of a musician than 6 string players. There are many very talented 8 string players out there you just don't know about.

Of course they are look how big it is. But majority of these coolers won't fit in the 240 case hence AIO.

Sorry but first one looks shit, only 120mm size. £90. Second one looks okaaay but no fans, after adding a pair of decent fans it'll be close to price of the Corsair.

Okay sure I'll listen to you because your mates said so. One of your mates AIO broke so they all must be shit. You build me a custom loop that's similar to a Corsair Hydro H105 in terms of size/performance/looks for less than £83.99 currently at overclockers and I'll buy it off you with £50 on top. Also, do custom loops not have a pump? The liquid flow by themselves?

Those disagreeing with an AIO, actually have one yourselves or just going by what other people say?

I'm expecting all your builds to be completely fanless, if they're not you're all contradicting yourselves.

Lets bet on this. You state how long you think before it will break/start buzzing. I'll put £20 on this. As long as it's a reasonable time you'd expect the AIO to last, obviously if you say something like 10 years then that's not happening. Corsair H105 or H100i, not sure yet. Yes you can change the part that breaks in a custom but for me an AIO is just less hassle. Don't have time to be fiddling with a custom loop and making sure it works right. With an AIO I'll just unbox it and mount it. If it doesn't work out the box, send it back.

But the fan could break maaaan.

I'm gonna order an AIO just to spite you two ha.

Fan break? I've had computers since 95 and all sorts of fans and never had a fan break on me. Doing a custom waterloop would be too expensive and time consuming when I just want to simply downsize my rig.

I've been hovering my mouse over the order button at overclockers. Been meaning to shrink my computer for a while and kinda settling for the corsair carbide 240 and an asus z97 gryphon micro atx motherboard. My current CPU and GPUs are both compatible. Only other thing I need to replace is the CM hyper 212 heatsink which is too big, with a CPU watercooler of some sort.
