Upgrading my pc

SHey all the pc builders out there. I wanted to ask that can I upgrade parts of my liquid cooled pc like my CPU GPU and drives so that I don't have to build a new pc every time? Thank you for your opinions

By liquid cooled do you mean the CPU has an AIO or is it a custom loop?

You can upgrade parts but it is not easy as you need to drain the loop, if upgrading GPU you need to add a water block and then you need to leak test. It is possible but it is a big job but is cheaper than building a new system

What do you mean custom GPU? All GPUs are technically custom?

Presuming that one does not wish to liquid cool RAM, or so forth, it would be possible to 'upgrade' of components within a loop each time you decide a custom liquid cooling loop is the way forward. You could change the block according to the socket, as with the GPU block to the PCB/GPU itself, although fittings may not match if you leave previous ones behind, so blocks may need adapter to fit radiator fittings.

 

NZXT actually do these: https://www.nzxt.com/products/kraken-g12-white if this may be easier.


Kind regards

I once did the unthinkable, back many headphones ago...

I split an audio split, again
