    Pulling a page from Michael's and others playbook, I barely played any MWO recently, previous challenge was pretty good and easy to do. KMDD is still a bit tricky at times, but i usually consider it a good game if I have 2 of them (not that often, say one in 4 games). But not having to stress about missing some content, or a challenge is really really relaxing... (i can sip the margaritas now)

    Right? I wasn't making this stuff up folks LOL. I love battletech and will always be involved in some way shape or form. That being said I am excited to see what new content comes down the line in the UNIVERSE of Battletech.

    I'm having a break due to my graphics card being tested for faults. I do want to get back to MWO soon, but I'm getting heaps of stuff done around the house instead. So everything is good in moderation.

    I feel your pain. My H110i AIO water cooler pump died yesterday. In the shop. I'm going back to air with a Noctua D15 kit. Tired of messing with the Corsair crapola AIO.

    I went with the Cooler Master Nepton 140XL Liquid CPU Cooler for my Dad's i7-5960X system I built for him. With the CPU cranking Prime95 stress test the cooler kept pumping out the heat. It wasn't a bad little heater in winder. So I've been impressed with the Cooler Master stuff.

    How do you guys like watercooled solutions? (and if you don't mind me asking, do you live in the south or in the north?) Up in the Northeast, water cooled solution doesn't provide as much heat in the winter, so that's almost 6 months out of the year I actually like having a air cooled solution.
    In the summer it does get a bit too hot though.

    Cheers.

    So I got confirmation that my Corsair H110i GT water pump died. I bought it on April 22nd, 2015 and I filed an RMA ticket with Corsair on April 19th, 2016. 3 days before the manufacturer warranty was due to expire.

    I'm running the D15 now and temps idle around 46C. With the case installed in my Define R5 and with the dual graphics cards (one of them snug right up against the heat sink for the CPU) I'm currently running at 50C as I type in this window with Skype running in the background and steam and blah blah blah. I did about 40 minutes of Witcher 3 last night (1440p with everything turned on) and Skype running in the background etc. and I only ever hit around 60C. I'm good with that.

    The Corsair H110i will get shipped back for RMA this week and they will send me a replacement. I haven't decided if I am going to keep it and install it, keep it and save it for my sons PC maybe (which will be on a lot less than mine) or just sell it on ebay as an unopened unit. Time will tell. HOWEVER, I am VERY grateful that if this thing fails I just replace a fan and viola, no problem. If an AIO fails you have to replace the whole damn thing!
