I'm thinking about going to water cooling over high-end air cooling, but I have a few questions, mostly common I'm sure. Here are the pro's and con's I've come up with:
Pros:
-Keeps your components cooler.
-Looks very nice.
Cons:
-If rushed it could result in a loss of components.
-Expensive.
-Takes a very long time to set-up (it seems like).
I tinker around in my computer pretty often and exchange parts pretty often too, I'm curious as to how much work it is to move parts around once the water cooling is installed, i.e. if I were to change the CPU would I have to bleed it, refill it, leak test it, etc?
And lastly, would someone mind helping me out with a basic water cooling setup just for the CPU with the possibility of adding a GPU block once one is released for the R600?
Thanks in advance.
