Hello! I am not new to LTT, I just decided to become less of a lurker and a better poster and all that stuff. I was wondering what I would need/ have to do for custom loop watercooling. What parts/ fittings would I need to have? Time is not a problem, but money is. I was thinking at around $500, I could get it done. Is that true? This will be for my build "Project Ashley". The pictures don't do it justice, You would have to be there. A blue theme as you may notice, I need to know anything of help, Thanks!   -Me

 

Ps: This project probably wont even start for 6 months, when I earn enough money for this.post-123438-0-42152700-1409603841_thumb.post-123438-0-26984400-1409603846_thumb.post-123438-0-56815700-1409603851_thumb.post-123438-0-50802200-1409603857_thumb.post-123438-0-33184400-1409603862_thumb.post-123438-0-71082100-1409603864_thumb.post-123438-0-82269800-1409603866_thumb.post-123438-0-20393500-1409603869_thumb.post-123438-0-69773000-1409603877_thumb.post-123438-0-31532700-1409603882_thumb.

I would upgrade to 8gb's and a better graphics card before watercooling. if it's just the cpu than a Swifttech h220x would be great than you can upgrade later.

:D creeper! :D

 

are you sure you want to spend $500 on watercooling instead of getting 2x better performance?

I agree with the above posts. Your build is kinda imbalanced. Overkill CPU, only 4gb of ram, and quite an old GPU. In your case I would upgrade my GPU first, unless you're satisfied with the performance of course.

 

Also, €500 is a good budget for watercooling imo. You can get a nice loop going with that. 

 

Edit: Also noticed you only have 250GB HDD? What do you use your PC for? o O

Well, the thing is, I REALLY like the look of custom watercooling, as for the 250 gig hdd, that is beacuse i caried that over from my other build. I got it beacuse it was cheap, and I was able to get my pc running quick. (I havent used over half yet).

I just like the look of custom loop cooling. And I am willing to spend $$$ on it.
