Hey everyone! I haven't bought this yet, but I was thinking about swapping the tubing and adding a GPU block to the loop. The model I'm talking about is the Swiftech H240-X Prestige. I currently own a Corsair H100i GTX, but I want to upgrade with more blocks without overspending on EK. If anyone has any concerns or suggestions for sticking with the H100i GTX, please let me know!

I also have an i7 4790k running at stock speed, and I plan to overclock it to 4.4 (keep that in mind). I also have two Asus Strix GTX 970s at stock clockspeed. My case is an NZXT H440.

If I decide to switch the tubing to glass, I'll need some fittings—any recommendations? The water cooler uses Ultra Clear Mayhems tubing. I could buy tubing from Swiftechs site and handle the water blocks myself. Thanks a lot!

for every water cooling solution? since the H240X costs around $250, and each GPU block adds about $150
I tried setting up a complete water cooling system and it totaled $820.05

Well then, it seems best to maintain the Corsair. I understand the stock coolers in the Asus Strix lineup are decent. I think I'll continue using them.

I don't think you grasped my point clearly. The Corsair H100i GTX is an excellent cooler, and I spent a significant amount on it. I plan to retain that. I won't expand it further.

Regarding the Asus Strix GTX 970, both models feature Direct CU 2 cooling, which is characteristic of the Strix series. I'll keep those. I apologize if this caused any confusion.
