Do You Want to Fullcover WaterBlock for P55?

[NaeKuh]

So instead spending another 100,- for the EK Asus P7P55 blocks + 30,- for fittings and another 20,- for upgrading to a MCP355 instead of the 350, I already have 'saved' myself a fair amount of money to almost buy a second HD5850 (minus the waterblock of course )

and i call you one of the smarter ones..

This is always my recommendation on ANY PLATFORM.

Get the better hardware first, and then accommodate..

not get lower hardware, with accommodations.

@NaeKuh: Sorry for saying you were "wrong", because technically it is a matter of opinion, and you can't really be wrong. And you are right, I should get a custom water block some day, because I luvs me them DFI mobo's and having a full coverage block would be totally sweet. (But only if I can get mine etched with a unicorn.)

No your right its all in personal tastes and ive been here b4 too.
I watercooled a budget platform, and got horrible results with it.


I learned Budget + water should never be mixed together, because you'll run into hardware limitations b4 your water even becomes a merit.
NEVER will i do it again.. instead i learned you get a X48 instead of all that water option....

But... seems like you guys are totally jumping on the bling wagon.
Well thats fine... i wont criticize you guys anymore.

But if we look at it..

A fully blingd out watered P55 in my eyes will never look as sexy as a fully hardware loaded X58 on nice air.
Performance wise, id think the X58 system would still beat the P55 system.
