Had to replace a water cooler since the old one quit. Opted for a larger dual fan that I can mount on the top of the case instead of the rear. This one has LEDs and now instead of a black void I can have the strip joint look I apparently always wanted. I actually like it though.
Had to wire it to my PCa reset switch which makes it easier to switch colors instead of having to open the back of my case to hit the switch on the box. Was better to mount that in the bavk as I didn't want anymore dangling wires up front than i had to.
Cooling is also better than the old one with a 7 degree difference at idle. I tested that after letting it idle for an hour or so. Pc looks like a borg contraption, but thats ok. Needs some dusting too.
Nice. I never really got into water cooling. Maybe it was because I saw a few to many systems die from leaks in the 2000s.
Anyway, I have a fun little air cooler with RGB rainbow puke. Still rocking my old gaming case from 2005. Debating on buying some cold cathode tubes and bling it up old school. Maybe some black lights.
@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow In my case the old pump just died. No leak happened. I usually don't care too much about lighting, but I liked what i saw and read about this cooler. It was a good upgrade from the smaller single fan radiator i had before and I prefer the air to exhaust above instead of out the rear of the case. The lighting options are a nice bonus and I can match it with the lighting on my Razor.
