Hi all !

Looking to get a new Computer to replace my old DS System. Wanting a slightly smaller case. I have been out of the Hardware loop for awhile and want everyone's thoughts on this rig. I will be using a dual monitor setup 1080P.

My only concern is the H20 Cooling.I live in a high humidity area 80% all the time.  I tried it once (along time ago) and the condensation fried my rig.

Has the tech changed? is it still a issue? Temps are very important to me because of the high heat area i live in.

Thoughts?

Thanks Skargg

	I wouldn't think condensation would be an issue with the Vortex 240 closed cooler you selected. Ambient air is used by the fans to cool the fluid, so at no point would it be cooler than the surrounding air temps. Without the fluid being cooler, even in high humidity, no condensation. Never say never, but, highly unlikely in my opinion. You could select the Noctua air cooler if its still a concern. An excellent air cooler that is reliable, no pump, fluid, etc, quiet and cools just as well on your system. It is large but works. Hope this helps and good luck.
