Generation

it will perform around 10 - 20% worse , most tripple a games cant be played on max with 1440 on a RX590. What Luke said, the GTX 1660Ti would be good, but also the bottom line. if you go medium on 1440p an RX590 is good.

Thanks only did it because otherwise it would be a 3x bend. I am just able to do a one time at the moment since its my first loop haha. Maybe in future ill try to do a 3 way. But for now i will leave it as a 2x one way bend and a fitting

My firs watercooling and also first hardline loop, actually finished it 3 weeks ago after ordering several times (Little things you forget / want to add) i7 8700K @ 5.2 Ghz GTX 1080 Ti @ 2Ghz most of the time. 32GB DDR4 @ 3300Mhz 1TB 960 EVO Asus Strix 370 E Special thank for their advice to: @AngryBeaver @MaratM @Maticks @For Science! @Skiiwee29 @Sacredsock @Hiitchy @TVwazhere In:

Thanks guys, once again helped a noob out. @Hiitchy i7 8700k @ 5Ghz or maybe more if temps okay. icm with GTX 1080Ti also overclocked. @For Science! Im just going for the least amount of bends and fittings, since that will probably be the easiest for me to do.

Hi All, once again, I was helped here previously very well regarding a question about rad. capacity. For the planning of my loop, I made the following picture. let me hear your suggestions and or thought. PS. GPU is 1080TI aorus, with EK waterblock So far i think i will need: Around 12 HDC fittings. 1x 3 way 4x 90 degree piece (ill probably order 6, incl the rotary) around 2x 50cm PETG, i already got 6x since its my first time. The flow will basically be counter-clockwise... I think...

@AngryBeaver Thank you for sharing your knowledge, very very helpful for the newbie in watercooling. I am amazed how helpful this forum is, the local forums I know are either inactive or quite .... toxic... I appreciate the time you took to type such a lengthy and well-supported response The PC is already running and indeed pulls around 550 from the wall at peak moments. (this includes several USB devices and RGB strips, HDD/ssd's) i7 is running the stable overclock @ 5Ghz, I did reach 5,2 but for the daily I'm keeping it on 5 with around 1.27 Vcore. to get list: 240MM rad Either: XSPC EX240 Crossflow Or: Magicool G2 Slim Radiator 16 FPI Depending on whether I want/need crossflow, whatever gives me the cleanest looking loop Full GPU Block Either EK Plexi with nickel backplate Or the Phanteks (which has RGB, and I'm a sucker for) Both cost the same, however since most of it is EK, I'm leaning towards EK since I got most of my stuff from them. 4 additional fittings... damn those things really add up haha My CPU loop will come in tomorrow and I can start building it, from there I will device what I need to order more to make it work. (I just might be a PETG bending god, who knows ) I do have a 2nd pc with decent graphics where I will soon move the AIO cooler too, I have no rush in building and I can take my time and wait for parts to come in (although very eager to start). I will see then if i need 90 degree bends with fittings or a 90 degree with integrated fittings if such a thing exists with EK.

Im stubborn, First gonna try to do multi bend. haha. still need to order GPU waterblock so if i need more PETG or fitting like 90 degree, i can order it with that. While we are on the subject. I use the EK HDC fittings, would i need to buy 2 fittings and one 90 degree piece to make it work ?

@Skiiwee29 Well. That shines a new light on it. @For Science! Thanks!. Considering your small form factor and my big case I think it should be able to do with just one 360 rad. (according to benchmarks the Magicool G2 is better than the EK 360 SE) Also from EK Site with the pre-listed config and only one 360 SE in front. You guys have been very helpful. I have my answer within the hour, amazing.

@Skiiwee29 Wow thats a fast reply. I know about the rule of thumb for about but 4 factors made me doubt. -my rad slim - i7 8700K overclocked - GTX 1080 ti overclocked - Corsair 570x case not the best in airflow (guess) @Sacredsock I'll go over there now and play with it. Thanks for the help so far guys! much appreciated

Hi, Since this seems to be the place to be where water cooling knowledge is and I couldn't really find anything on google with my specific use case. I got: i7 8700K @ 5GHz Delidded , currently running a kraken X52 (240 rad) GTX 1080 Ti Aorus (normal version) Currently set at 150% Power limit. In a Corsair 570X case 6x HD120 Corsair fans. I ordered: EK Supremacy EVO RGB CPU block EK-XRES 140 Revo D5 RGB Magicool G2 Slim Radiator (360mm Rad, 27mm thick) All 16mm (5/8) PETG tubing I am new to custom watercooling, I am new to rigid tubing. I am confident this will not be too much of an issue. Afterall I could get some 90-degree fitting if I cant manage. However, if I want to include my GPU in the loop. Would this radiator still be enough or would I need to place additional 240 up top?
