Thanks breh. Can you re-link the product page? Link doesn't work.

Stupid question, but do I need a new motherboard for this? Mine only supports PCIE 2.0 i think.

Unless you put down major coin I've heard it's not worth the headache. A lot of issues with leaks...at least that's what I've read.

Lol back when water cooling was open it was a mess now theirs closed loop water cooling which comes pre set up all you have to do is mount it and plug it in. It's very simple and affordable now.

Custom Water cooling is expensive, requires a lot of preparation and research, and if done correctly, can be very addicting. its worth it if you want to keep your components like cpu and Gpus cool with mild overclocks.

This is what I based my water cooling comment on. Other than reading that article I haven't really done much other research on it lol.

He's talking about custom made watercooling in the article. Where you buy the pieces yourself and put it together. You can add or remove parts to cool for instance your graphics card as well as your cpu. Down side is it requires maintenance and more potential points of failure.
These days most people don't use custom watercooling, they use closed loop (prebuilt) coolers. They come as a sealed, complete item that only needs to be mounted into the case which is a simple process. They don't need any maintenance and are very unlikely to ever leak. At this point they're several generations in so the major kinks of the early ones are already gone.
