MODDING / READERS’ DRIVES

What, to you, are the benefits

of water cooling over air cooling?

Liam: It’s a mixture between looks

and performance. A properly

planned custom loop looks

amazing, and the cooler

temperatures mean you can get

higher clock speeds, which in turn

meansbetterperformance.

How did you go about

planning the lighting?

Liam: I knew I wanted the

Corsair LL-series fans in the build,

as they’re simply awesome!

However, I also wanted to

illuminate the fluid in the system,

which is why I added the RGB

strips (also from Corsair).
