Project Blackline worklog.(still in progress)

heres my thing with OCing... I didnt build this unit with the purpose of OCing yet. Theres a reason I did this build the way it is. I am planning on adding another 3x120 radiator in the future with a bigger case.

I just dont think the one 2x120mm radiator will dissipate enough heat to OC yet. This was my first time getting into water cooling also..

I agree to a certain extent where if you are going to spend 300$ buying parts for WC then you might give OCing a shot but it depends on setup.

Understandable :) Sorry if I came across like an a-hole

Air coolers have made some pretty nice gains since I've stopped using them, I'll give you that, but I've gotten used to the better temps and TBH a TRUe isn't going to fit in any of the cases I have. In fact, there are very few new air coolers that will even come close to fitting many of the cases I have.

You will probably find it pretty easy to overclock with the setup you are making. I only use a 2X120 Rad with no problems running 3.6ghz 24/4 on my E6600... But like you said, you might overclock, but this rig isn't being built to push the limits. Though I think you will find it pretty good.

Anyway mate it looks terrific. The color scheme looks mint. You might need a cold cathode to get the most out of your UV reactive die.
