I thought the fans would daisy-chain with each other to get rid of some cables. That's a big design flaw, in my opinion.



Please excuse my bad English.

Currently gaming on a PC with an i5-4670k@stock (for now), 16Gb RAM 1600 MHz and a GTX 1070

Build has everything but GPU in it now. Power on test shows all fans spinning and all RGB up. Just gonna run some last benchmarks on my old rig to have a direct comparison. And then it's time to kill the old girl by ripping out her brain.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Noice! *Looks at last sentence* I think...

Yeah, that's a really stupid design decision. If all AIO CPU Water coolers are like this, I'll stick to aircooling for my next PC.



I know the Phanteks one that I am getting has Daisy Chain.





Not sure why NZXTs one doesn't

Build is officially done.

I know it sucks but trust me, it wasn't possible to do anything you see differently. Because AIOs suck.


Fans are running fine and I already turned off all the RGB. For now I'm going for the quiet solution with a closed top. It's absolutely terrible for airflow, but for now it's fine.

Ran 3DMark on my old rig and then on the new one. Graphics score still the exact same. CPU score increased from 6300 to 13500. Score seems to be in line with reviews. There is probably lots of headroom for overclocking, but I doubt I'll need to overclock anytime soon.

Noice! Congrats on a successful build! Should perform like a beast when you get your new GPU.

Yes! That's the first thing I do to any component I buy.  Gotta remove them disco lights before I do anything else.



It looks great, viv. Congratulations for your new PC.
