Water? Electronics? Why not

Installed water cooling for the first time. The kit has everything to install a processor and be happy. I had to purchase additional wheel and accessories to install additional 360mm and 140mm wheels. If your graphics card doesn't come with a water block, you'll need one too. The pump has no problems with the added wheels. Make sure you buy more tubes the first time you install water cooling, like I did, and don't get discouraged if you mess up a tube or two. Cone with conductive process. Be sure to perform a water test before connecting the motherboard to power. System runs under full load (benchmark 1h+) 65-70°C with overclocked CPU (Ryzen 9 5950 4.5GHz) and overclocked GPU (Radeon rx 6900 xt)

Cons
  • Almost never
