So recently my AIO cooler pump decided to stop working. It has lasted me 4 years, which I consider to be pretty reasonable seeing as I paid about $170 for back in 2014. I am caught in a dilemma now. I have wanted to get into custom watering cooling, but I am still a student with a limited budget. EK has started to make custom water cooling more affordable and I think I can start by cooling my CPU first then add additional rads and components later on. I am curious to know if anyone has used the ekwb kits ( https://www.ekwb.com/shop/kits ) . I am looking at the slim rad as I have a NZXT S340 Elite, so fitting a 240 rad in the front will be tight for space. If it is worth it, I don’t mind spending the extra cash into something like this. I am looking for some opinions! My other option is to outright buy a new AIO, but I think I’d like to start custom water cooling.
System Specs:
CASE: NZXT S340 Elite
CPU: i7-7700k
Motherboard: ASUS ROG MAXIMUS HERO IV
RAM: 16GB Corsair LPX vengeance
GPU: ASUS Strix GTX 1080
SSD: M.2 WD black 512GB
Thanks! Looking forward to your opinions!
