Hello everyone,
So I plan to upgrade my i7 4790s cpu eventually later on down the line. I want to make sure that the next cpu I pick up is overclock-able and isn't limited by temps. but rather voltage. Which means I need to watercool my cpu in order to achieve this. Now my question is, does custom loop provide better value than AIO? I know custom loop cools components better than AIO due to better quality parts while AIO cheaps out on quality for a lower price.
Thus, is the better cooling performance of custom loop justify the additional cost? I don't care about looks or any of that. I may put my gpu on water in the future, but as for now, my 1070 has reasonable temps. on air. I don't think my 1070 will ever be water-cooled, but future gpu's could be if they are running too hot. So, am I better off with an AIO or custom loop for the money knowing that I may put a gpu under water in the future and will certainly be putting a cpu? Or, am I better off with an extreme air cooler when it comes to value for the $? Please do let me know. Thanks.
