What's a good Rad/Fans for External CPU/GPU Loop?

I am planing on building a slim htpc/gaming rig and want to use water cooling. What are some good rads/fans for external that can cool CPU/GPU? For the pump I am planing on using a CPU/Pump waterblock.

nonono don't do external watercooling. You can do internal watercooling just fine in a 250D or node 804 when it comes out. Even a Node 304 can be internally watercooled.

Those cases are too big for what I want to do. I am planing on slim.

Depending on how powerful your parts are, I'd say go with a 360 or 480mm rad. Good brands are XSPC, Alphacool, Coolance, Coolgate and Hardware Labs, just to name a few.

Example of good radiator fans: Noctua NF-F12, Akasa Apache, Corsair SP120 and Noiseblocker eLoop, among others.

Once you add the external watercooling, your case will no longer be "slim"

You can get crazy and build an external rad-box with like a 9x120mm Rad + Fans, reservoir, pump and have some quickdisconnect connector leading to the case. Always wanted to do that personally :D
