    Question Debating Whether to get Water Cooling on the PC

    I got it from Scan around a year ago, Corsair 600T case with SLI 570 HD, I am tempted to get them water-cooled through scan, but as I am still at uni I will be moving me pc around a fair bit, I watched the video for filling up a tank from the drive bays and look easy enough, but the main worry is draining, how you can drain the system properly for someone with no experience like me xD plus I also need to get it cleaned out as it has gathered dust like a magnet in a year.
    Should I just stick with air cooling? (I get around 40C idle and around 80+ on full load) or go with a water-cooling option? Already got a H70, so a single loop for the cards on a dual rad at the top of the case is my option.

    Hi Shimi,

    Apologies for the late response!

    Water cooling your 570's would be straight forward enough.

    We can always add an extra tube with a drain plug that would make it simple for you to drain and flush the cooling system. Topping up is simple, and we leave enough tubing so the reservior can be pulled out enough to topup!

    As part of the watercooling upgrade, your system would be blasted out with our compressor to get rid of all the dust and have it looking like new! For general maintenence you can always use cans of compressed air.

    Like you say dual rad in the top of the 600T... with a pair of apache black fans should cool both cards well!

    You would certainly reduce the temps of the cards, therefore releasing extra overclocking potential aswell as massively reducing fan noise!

    Regards,
    Rob
