MK II
Basically, MK III configuration is a slight enhancement of MK II in these following areas.
- Upgrade from Swiftech MCW-60 GPU block to Komodo 5800 full face block to improve VRM temp.
- Upgrade from 4 x Noctua NF-NP12 (2 running at full speed because ran out of fan headers) to Artic Cooling F12 x 4 thermal controlled via PWM. Two are daisy chained using PWM sharing (a.k.a PST) and connected to the M/B's CPU header. Likewise for the remaining two hooked up to the GFX fan header. Three of them are modded with LEDs as well. GFX fan response is further customized using MSI Afterburner.
- Upgrade to full chipset watercooling.
- Upgrade from 3/8" barbs to 1/2" compression fittings
- Change MCR220's airflow from blowing hot air from into to out of the case instead.
