[@EfrainMan]

Heat related anecdote: Had a hardline system I was helping someone with recently. It suddenly starting to alarm that the water temp was too high (approaching 60 C). After making sure the pump was fine (it was brand new), we soon realized the room air temp was too high in that room to transfer heat from the radiator. Once they turned on just a little AC, which they didn't want to do to save some money, it all went to normal. They're a little upset that they need to do that, but it was crazy to finally experience something I only knew as theoretical.

The good thing about be quiets silent loop 2 and pure loop 2 is, that you just can remove the plug in the radiator and flush the AiO and change the fluid.

I've been running open loops for over 15 years now. I love the look of them and up until now the performance has been outstanding. The thing is that the newest generation of hardware dumps so much heat into the system it's insane. Part of it may be my motherboard just pushing the cpu too much, stupid Asus. Then of course the 7900XTX isn't a low wattage part either. Not to mention that this is the first time that I've seen a waterblock designed for both the flagship card and the next card down from it.
