always loved air cooling. pieces of art. but my next cooler i want to try an aio.

I have had two AIO's. Corsair H100i (my first AIO) and then the H100i GTX in my last build... H100i GTX pump failed causing my CPU temps to get 90-95C.. :eek: Corsair RMA'd the AIO but still put a bad taste in my mouth. :/

Pssssh fans. I just put my computer in the literal freezer.

PROBLEM SOLVED.

:giggle: I wish I could put a window AC unit in the office to keep it cool. When I'm gaming I close the office door as I get supposedly (wife says) loud. So it gets hot :/

Finally got my great-granfathers desk put in my house. He used this desk when he was a supervisor in a local mill. Got my computer setup on it now.

Damn that desk looks heavy! Made with good wood.

Also what Dell monitor? 27"?

Lastly your CyberPower PC looks super small lol

@webby - I think my higher CPU temps are from of course the warmer weather (it's been very hot here the past 4 weeks) and also possibly the thermal paste on the 4790k. Quite a bit of people delid them and notice a decrease in temps up to 20C from pre-deliding it.

Yeah I recall at least one video from Linus comparing temps from Intel pre and post delidding. I seem to remember him saying the paste was pretty bad, so he cleaned it all off and put some higher grade thermal paste and had significant improvements.
