I wanted to get some opinions on this forum before moving forward. My system is below in my signature. I am currently running a Corsair Hydro H115i AIO for CPU cooling but I have been wanting to try a custom loop for a while now. The reason I haven't moved forward is mainly because of the cost.
I'm wondering what kind of a performance gain I could expect going from a 280mm AIO to a 360mm custom loop (hard piped). I would definitely go with Corsair's Hydro X series cooling components since I already have a ton of Corsair RGB components and several Corsair controllers installed for RGB and fan control. I guess my basic question is, would this be worth it in terms of a cooling upgrade or would it mostly just be for the aesthetic of a hard piped setup?
