    READ THE INSTRUCTIONS on how to install it there is a back plate you must use, I didnt because mine is a 2011-3 socket and it didnt need one :)

    I know its Aspergers thats a moderate hitter for me, I tend to think things through differently and I just thought its Autism awareness on here but I am a very weird blend of things...

    With the all in ones like that. Pretty much a case of affix the pump/waterblock combo as you would an air cooler. Secure the radiator into the fan mounts. Plug in any provided cables. Jobs a good un.
    The fluid does go bad with time and is non replaceable in an all in one so you'll be lucky to have it working at peak in 2 years (although adding refill options is at least a possibility with the supposedly non upgradeable system).


    The big issue with upgrade is that the fittings arent designed to be removable. In a custom system you typically have a reservoir, a drain fitting, a pump, a waterblock and a radiator each as discrete components. The all in ones ditch the drain and the reservoir instead assuming you to have a full level 24/7 (not true after a year or 2). The all in ones add a very weedy pump straight onto the waterblock. If you do say want to go to CPU+GPU in one loop (you may not want to) then the pump isnt really strong enough to do that, you need a new one, you need to add a reservoir to fill the system, you need a new CPU block, you're basically only reusing the radiator. This is my point with non upgradeabiity.

    But otherwise, the all in ones are plug and play.

    Interesting, so basically its very similar to a automotive setup, Radiator (hoses) water pump and your heater core (which would be the water block in this case).

    Do your guys have a parts list off hand? (this custom setup has got me wondering) maybe I should go research LOL.

    (Go pre made or go custom.)

    Thanks again.

    custom costs alot more. Alot more. Much more. Ie, can have an all in one for £100. I'd be looking at £200 just in the main components alone, before fittings, hoses and fluids.

    Custom loops can be very expensive. Just putting that out there. They also require more maintenance than air-cooling.

    Going that far is just another "money black hole" for custom loops to put it, go with the Corsair H110i AIO and you will keep that processor nice and cold

    pretty much.

    all in one if you want cpu only and don't mind maintenance being nigh impossible.
    custom with a big wallet

    I see, so all set and done a custom loop can be upwards of $500+ for a "basic" setup per say.

    Custom is something like starting around £350+ its really not worth it unless its via a company like EK or someone like that....its a joke

    easy. With gpu included (can be an option at this point) and going for a high end setup you can run into the four digits.
    it's why you find gpu waterblocks are only available for high end cards, the only people that can afford it aren't using budget cards...

    EK waterblocks pops to mind for me and yeah the 4 digit figures comes past so easily, its insane, just absolutely mental and not work the money, just go in low end and be happy :)

    Oh what is the biggest one in the arsenal

    If I was to do my ultimate setup IBM Version 8 Server please :)

    I think thats right I need to ask my dad about it but its a IBM server with some TITANIC horsepower...lets just say the throughput from the Hard drives isnt measured in Gigs per second its measured in Terabytes per second and each one can support 1TB of RAM...yes 1 Terabyte of ram...
