Reason for the h100i V2?

I have the H100i in my current machine but recently broke the power connector on the block, so if I move the cable, I lose power. Just get a new one, which happens to be the V2.

Oh gotcha.

I had the H100i GTX (it was in between the h100i and h100i V2).

Fractal makes some great cases! I have the Fractal Design Define R5 (windowless).

The Node has been out for a bit and is compact :thumbsup:

^ that's how I fell into a rabbit hole and looked down that path. This will end up being interesting and you guys may only find out the specs once i actually do this.

Kept me up until too late last night.

Do I even bother dragging the 2.5" SSDs over or do I just replace them with the M.2 SSDs. I can do those AND the two 2.5" SSDs and have 2 TB of solid storage.

Squee. And there it goes....F*** IT. FULL REBUILD!
