I've been busy lately, updating my computer case... my 'old' HAF-X has seen better days :( ,,,, so I've upgraded my Computer case, Liquid Cooler and Power Supply to a newer Cooler Master Case Cooler Master C700p, Corsair HX Series HX 1200 Power Supply, and Cooler Master MASTERLIQUID ML360 RGB.

Very nice. :) I am wanting to get a new tower myself soon.
It's been 8 years since the last major upgrade and my case is maybe 15 years old now.
Still not sure about Liquid Cooling yet but will probably go that way.

Thanks Ace.... It's not the water cooling, it's AIO Cooling (All-In-One) water cooling, Water Cooling which is customized (which I am really not going to do, if I screw up... I'm screwed.... From what I gather... AIO Cooling is compacted into a case> I've been using these for years.... ;)

Nice! I keep thinking about switching to an AIO but so far I am happy with my air cooler. Especially since I would have to remove my BlueRay drive in order to fit the radiator into the case. (Granted I don't think I used it since I upgraded my rig last year... But still)
One question though, are you running a 3 RAM stick configuration?

Yeah... unfortunately I had to sacrifice my internal DVD drive inside the case, but I brought an external DVD on the side of my PC case... :) And Forceflow answer to your question is 'yes' I do have a (3) Stick RAM configuration 8gb's per stick, which equals 24gb's of CORSAIR Vengeance RGB... I know (3) @ 24gb's may be over-kill I just didn't want to go (4) @ 32 gb's.... that really would have been over-kill ... :D

Nice work. 1200 watts though! Are you secretly powering the Death Star with that thing? ;)
