Hey guys,

I'm just about to buy a level 4 ODE system. I have one question about one of the configuration options. It asks if I want a 'H20 Tube Color'. Frankly, I have no idea what it is. I believe it's a tube for the liquid cooling, correct me if i'm wrong. I just would like to know what that is, and what the standard color is for the ODE platforms.

Thanks, James!

The tube color is for when you choose the exotic cooling options with a custom loop. The level 4 uses a 240mm closed loop color that has black tubing that cannot be changed. If you want colored tubing, you're going to have to upgrade to a custom loop.

Ohh, that makes way more sense. Thanks a bunch!

Also, do you recommend having 2 GTX 780's or 1 780 Ti. I've heard a lot of rumors that dual 780's would draw a lot of power, but still exceed performance. What do you recommend?

The sli 780's will definitely use more juice than a single 780ti.  About 150-200 watts more in general.  But not really a problem if you go with a 1000w  psu. 850watt minimum.    

A lot depends on the monitor's resolution you're gaming on.  A 1920x1080 monitor will play great with a single 780ti. Even a single 780 is real nice.   If you game on a 27" at 2560x1440 monitor, then the sli 780 is needed to max some games.  

Bacially, for a single 1920x1080 then the 780ti or 780  is just about right.  For a higher resolution monitor, the 780ti will still play real nice but not max out some of the heavier shooters, etc.  Then sli is needed.

I'll be playing on an ASUS 24 inch monitor. (led backlight, 2ms response) Should I upgrade my power supply and go with duals? Or just keep it and go with the Ti, i'm not a heavy gamer but I do use some of the Adobe suite and I expect my graphics to do justice on the Adobe side, rather than the gaming graphics.

I'd stick with a single 780ti.

Thanks for the response, mate!

Glad there's someone I can trust with computer parts, lol.
