Beginner's guide to Custom Water Cooling?

[Zach99]

Hi there,

 

I am rather new to the whole world of PC building. I built my first PC in september 2013, but I have upgraded every single component except the case so it isn't even really the same build any more. The only water cooling experience I have at ALL is installing an h100i with an i7-4770k. My case is the NZXT phantom 820. Obviously, installing an h100i is far, far simpler than a custom water cooling loop. Even so, ever since I watched Linus' "Ultimate overkill PC build guide", I've always wanted to do my own custom water cooling setup. Right now I'm not looking to actually building the rig, as I am too young to have enough money to do it, but I want to learn as much as I can now so that when i can afford it, I am not starting from square one. Now I'll get to the point. Can anybody point me to some beginner's guides to a custom water cooling loop? It doesn't have to include everything for water cooling GPUs as well, just a CPU. When I make my first custom loop I will probably only be doing the CPU anyways, and then possibly GPUs later on once I am more experienced. I'd appreciate it a lot, and on the 1/1,000,000,000,000 Linus sees this post, maybe a video could be made some day as a beginners guide to water cooling from him. 

 

Thanks!

There are some pretty detailed watercooling guides on the forum. Head over to Water Cooling under Computer Hardware and they are the first 2-3 topics of the page. They are pinned.

OH YES!! His videos are totally beast. Even his own systems are called Beast and Beast II.
