Hello, I'm planning out my first custom water cooling loop. I've got everything picked out except one thing, the fittings. I'm doing an only CPU loop, as I'm on a bit of a budget (and 1080 water blocks are hard to come by). EK fittings are the cheapest I've found so far, by quite a bit. The other option I've found are thermaltake from Canada Computers. Are any of these option good? I'm not looking for the best, I'm just looking for something what wont leak, and can hold onto a tube pretty well.

Hello, I am trying to find a cheap(ish) way to run two monitors off one display port 1.4 enabled USB C port(not thunderbolt). There are display port splitters on amazon, but they are kind of expensive. Would it be possible to have a USB C hub/splitter which I could then plug in two USB C to display port adapters? Thanks,

What would be a better shoice? splitting 2 6/8 pins into 4 6pins, or converting 3 molex to 2 six pins? Thanks for the detailed reply.

I already have a 970, and I might be able to get another one for cheap. the one 970 is using my 2 6/8 pin connects, what I am trying to ask is, should I adapter 3 molex for the second 970, or should I split my 6/8 pins into two more and use those to power the second card.

I know, I would adapt molex to 6 pin

I did some quick research and it needs about 145W, also I edited my original post.

Hello, quick question. Could I run a GTX 970 off 3 molex connects with my EVGA 600w bq power supply? Thanks, -Edit Okay, I might do SLI, my power supply should be able to handle it ok. but I don't have enough 6pin. Should I split my 6Pin/8pin or should I convert 3 molex?

Oh... lol, thanks

I'm going to get a gtx 1070 with black Friday sales, but I'm going to make a custom loop using EK fluid gaming parts. It's a full cover GPU block for GTX 1070/1080. But what 1070s is the water block compatible with? Does it only work with the GTX 1070 Founder edition? Thanks for any help.

Also, I've never done this before, and I want to give it a shot/

I am only trusting parts with 5 star reviews, and when the pump dies on the AIO in like a year I will have to replace the entire AIO instead of a ~35 part. I also want to be able to OC the i5 8600k to ~5GHz without any thought of over heating.

I don't think I could ever trust a used AIO, I'm also not spending any money on a cooler at first, all I'm doing is buying the PC with black Friday sales, getting a crappy $20 air cooler, then getting the water loop when I have the money.

Their 360mm rad kit will cost about $325 CAD if they do a straight conversion, that's a third of my whole PC budget. I can't afford to spend that much. Sorry, but I can't do kits.

The pump has a 5 star rating on amazon. Ill probably replace it before it dies. I also really don't want to spend an extra almost $100 on something that may perform worse.

It will provide better cooling performance then the EK kit. I'm getting a EK CPU block, and a 240mm rad, the kit is only a 120mm. The only thing is the EK rad looks slightly better.
