I have a Cooler Master HAF932 case. Cooling is not a issue here. BTW, |
| 65 |
I have a Gigabyte board that is overclockable. I have huge heatsinks in |
| 66 |
case I decide to but mostly just like to keep everything cool. Oh, no |
| 67 |
water here either. I don't even have drinks around my rig so why put |
| 68 |
water into it. o_O |
