Purpose of my project:
After trying many different after market CPU cooler which produced a lot of noise with very little cooling capability, I got fed up and decided to build my first water cooling PC.
What I wanted out of my WC setup:
* I wanted to lower the temperature of my CPU & Motherboard Chipset.
* To minimize noise as much as possible
* To have an effective water cooling setup which works well and looked good too.
