I will be getting compression fittings and switching to 1 240mm Rad thank you

Thank you so much for the response, You just explained to everyone what i was trying to! And i have looked into EK, And i will be going with one of there res and pump combos, Most likely the EK-XRES 100 DDC MX 3.1 (With the pump) This build she be starting in the next 4 weeks or so, I will do a post when it is done if everything goes alright.

I don't want to buy an AIO, i want customization, And you just don't get that with AIO's, Eventually i would like to do UV reactive liquid, And some crazy RBG builds, I just think they look amazing.

I already have the i5, And i am doing this loop as a learning experience, If you have no suggestions about this loop then don't say anything at all.

Thank you i will order it all from those sites

So i am am going to be attempting my very first Custom water cool loop for my CPU, And here are the parts i have chosen. the i will be cooling is the i5 7600k. The case i will be doing this in is the Fractal Design Define Mini C.

And some hose clamps for extra protection againts leaks (i am choosing the light tower res because i can plug the pump directly into it) So to me all of this looks fine for a first water cooled loop, BUT i am 100% New at this and would love any part suggestions(or any suggestions at all) Thank you!

That is a mini ITX case We are using Micro atx.

Don't think i can fit a NZXT Kraken x62 in that Shoebox case lol + Thats a mini itx case, The idea is to get a micro ATX case that can fit a 240mm AIO in it easily.

We are trying to make this build as compact as we can (as i said it will be a LAN pc)

Also i suggest if it is possible to upgrade to 16Gigs of DDR4, Ryzen works better with more ram!

For the case go with the Fractal Design Define Mini C not that apevia case, It's a little more but you will thank yourself in the end, It has way more support for future upgrades + Great cable management for a mATX.

So i am in the process of building a good friend of mine a compact LAN pc that was in his words SPEEDY!, He wanted liquid cooling in a small mATX form factor, So i have looked around for cases, And have found the Fractal Design Define Mini C!! But before i buy anything i ask on the forums if there are any better options out there! So if anyone has any suggestions on a better case that is around 100 bucks or so feel free to respond. The build CPU: Ryzen 5 1600X GPU: ASUS GeForce GTX 1070 DUAL-GTX1070-8G 8GB 256-Bit AIO: NZXT Kraken X62 MOBO: GIGABYTE GA-AB350M-HD3 AM4 RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB DDR4 2666 (White) Extra special fans: Thermaltake Riing 12 RGB LED 120mm (Triple pack) Storage: WD Blue 1TB | WD Blue 250GB Internal SSD Solid State Drive Case: Fractal Design Define Mini C

Well seems like i have been surrounded, RYZEN it is everyone, Thank you for responding to this thread and all the help!

haha

It's 1.2v

Don't think i could sell my current processor, Don't think it has much life left in it.

According to intels site 91 W

Currently using a AM3+ Amd fx 6300, With an air cooler, But planning on getting an AIO for the i5

So far i have not seen any thermal issues with it

I have never used intel before in my life, So i want to try it out, But at this point i may just right both of the processors on a wheel and spin it to see what i get.

What i will end up doing is getting the i5 putting 1 stick of DDR4 in it, And then if i am having RAM issues i will get another single 8gig stick later on.

So based on what i have seen, AMD goes well with more ram, And the i5's do better with less?

My system is still a amd FX 6300 i have used for 4 years now, With 2 RX 460's i got on a newegg sale, And the ram i got 4 years ago on a newegg sale aswell haha.

I am on a tight budget.

Im going to be using a Core i5 7600k, And my graphics card will be a ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Mini
