Here we go guys...
So if you don't know, I recently bought an 8350, and I was disgusted by how poorly the stock cooler performed. I have very little funds, and I have very big expectations. So, that means it's time to get custom and make my own water cooling rig.
I'm making my own waterblock, as well as using some parts from an old koolance case to do this. My goal is to do this all for 50 dollars or less. I just got the copper at work today (for free!) and I'm about to go get the case now.
Excellent piece of copper. Can't wait to shape this into a waterblock. Any suggestions for how I should make the waterblock, let me know.
And for anyone who is saying I should have just bought an air cooler.
NO.
My computer is my hobby. I want to make something that I will be proud of. An air cooler will get the job done, but that doesn't mean I'll be happy with it.
I'll be back with updates later, once I grab the case. Thanks for looking
