Project: MakeMeCooler Doraemon Build Log – Part 3

This is Part 3 of our project build. It’s time to add the PC and Watercooling components. We will be using the Gigabyte Z270X Ultra Gaming motherboard for its RGB Fusion feature, an Intel Core i5-7600K (Kaby Lake) for its overclocking ability and ALL watercooling components by Bitspower.

Project: MakeMeCooler Doraemon is based around the Anime character Doraemon because of the blue and white colors, which I think is a perfect match.
