Water Cooling

[Mr.Sir]

I am going to be buying a new pc soon and I have no idea where to start on water cooling.

PC

1080ti (founders edition)

i7700k

CASE: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16811352057

basically.. dont

dh-15 for air cooling great price/performance, is competitive with most liquid coolers while having less maintenance , less failure points and is more quiet

Are you looking to use an AIO or to build a custom loop?

[Mr.Sir]

A custom loop would be nice, I couldn't find a combo AIO with the CPU and GPU included.

I will be OC my system.

Alright in that case do you have a parts list with EVERYTHING that is going into your system?

So, in general you need radiators/fans, a pump/reservoir, tubing, fittings cpu block and gpu block. I have a configuration from EKWB linked below to give you a feel as well as general cost, but you can change it as you please. Also, custom loops are very expensive.

Would I need 2 Radiators, or is that an option for me to choose one of them?

 

Thank you so much btw.

That's an EK recommendation apparently.

What if I were to get a AIO, would it be cheaper at the same quality? (with both GPU and CPU cooling)

[Moress]

Cooling a GPU is not as simple as cooling an CPU as far as AIO's are concerned. If you want something simple either get a better air-cooler for your GPU and at least a 240mm AIO water cooler for your CPU. You could also pick up a 1080ti seahawk/hybrid when they come out.

And yes, the 1080ti is a large chip and puts out a lot of heat, for a 7700k and 1080ti I would say at least 480mm of radiator, and the way the R5 is build you would be best off with the 360mm and 240mm.
