    Should I be using water or air cooling on my mini itx build?

    Do you have any recommendations for either? For Air Cooling I've been looking into the Be quiet! Shadow Dark Rock Pro 3 and for AIOs I've been looking into the NZXT Kraken X61.

    Should I be using water or air cooling on my mini itx build?

    Okay so I finally hit a breakthrough. I played around with my fans for long enough that in the BIOS i finally figured out how to set them to being quieter. I can still hear them and in the future I might invest in some new cooling, but at least what i have is bearable. The only major sounds...

    Should I be using water or air cooling on my mini itx build?

    I tried it and it didn't work at all. I have 6 PWM modes and they all have a "DO NOT USE!" setting. I've tried to play around with it and nothing's working, so I'm just going to stick to my BIOS and AI Suite 3 options.

    Should I be using water or air cooling on my mini itx build?

    Alright, thanks for you help! I fixed the link (http://imgur.com/a/4UhFZ), and unfortunately the fans are still pretty loud, and are always on (even my GPU fan). I guess at this point i should just be thinking of replacing the water cooling fans or getting a new water cooling/air cooling set up...

    Should I be using water or air cooling on my mini itx build?

    There's actually no spot to put another fan next to my GPU. For custom fan spots other than my back fan, I'd have to remove my water cooling. I'm going to play with speed fan, and I'm not sure if this helps but: My water cooler had 2 connections: 1 4 pin that connected to my 2 fans and 1 3 pin...

    Should I be using water or air cooling on my mini itx build?

    Thanks and I'll try out speedfan when I get back home. How would I optimize one fan for intake and the other for outtake though? I don't think I can really reverse the way that my radiator is set up due to the screws, and the case fan that I have is sort of fixed in their position. Should I buy...

    Should I be using water or air cooling on my mini itx build?

    Alright, so I should update you on some things first. So after I sent those picture I realized that my cable management was really, really bad, so I did a bit of cleaning up. I also screwed in the cooler a bit tighter to my cpu, and then re routed a few things around. I still can't control the...

    Should I be using water or air cooling on my mini itx build?

    To be honest I think my airflow/cable management is really bad, because I don't really know how to properly do it? It's like a jungle in there. And no, at stock loads I only hit 70-75 if i was stress testing. And I don't know what you mean by "running from the header and not being controlled by...

    Should I be using water or air cooling on my mini itx build?

    Hey guys. I'm new here and I came looking for some advice. If you could help that'd be amazing. So I built my first computer build in January. It was a big undertaking for me, and it came after a period where I was going through a rough time so it meant a lot for me that i could do something...
