Motherboard and RAM blocks are a waste of money, IMO.
CPU, GPU, and done.

Those days are over since there so much more you can do to give your rig the eye candy effect. Regardless if it was for eye candy or the need for it, you actually don't. Adds restrictions to the loop and more connecting points when you want the simplest loop possible.

And to OCFs btw.

There are plenty of posts on this forum alone that show proof, but it is your build so do what you want. I would search before doing it and then consider uv tubing.

Depends on the fluid. Some Meyham's brand they that is colored they say doesn't stain... otherwise, most do and can cause problems if you do not maintain the loop every couple of months.
