hello to all guys here.
im planning to buy an aventum 2 machine but had some doubts are on liquid cooling system of pc. since im just a rookie at all this so i thought for help from forum before placing order.
1. first i'd like to know any benefits and/or cons from copper cooling. since i wont be overclocking any components but still im gonna buy a monster (4x nvidia gpu + top intel core cpu) and opting out for Cu piping.
2. moreover i wish to add H2O level 1 liquid cooling(CPU+chipset) & i wanted to know if there will be any issues from heating of plastic pipes or will it be cool sufficient w/o overclocking components?
3. since i'll be fitting top notch nvidia QUAD GPUs and i wont be overclocking them so i guess its ok if i choose no cooling(neither Copper nor plastic-piped) for them and moreover i don't think there's a need for liquid cooling for FOUR BLACK TITANS @ 4K or do i need to liquify cool them too?

The Aventum case has great airflow and water cooling the graphic cards is an nice option but not needed.  Cards take care of themselves if the airflow is right.

Copper over rubber tubing, it is just an aesthetic. Though I believe that the internal diameter is a bit smaller on the copper versus the rubber tubing that DS uses.

Also, with copper tubing you should make sure that it is an all copper loop, since dissimilar lead to corrosion. This will be true with any loop, you want only similar (and preferably the same) metals throughout.

I'm pretty sure I read a DS mod post on these forums here state the the internal diameter of the (nickel plated) copper tubing they use is the same as the other(colored)

Yep, the same internal diameter from info from  Alex in a previous post.   The copper looks smaller because the walls are thinner, being metal.
