Depends what you are looking at, for AIO options Corsair, NZXT and such have really easy to use options. In terms of custom watercooling if it's your first loop a kit isn't a bad place to start off.

If you are just starting out do a lot of research before you start buying anything. To give you an idea a good quality custom loop (copper based) for CPU and GPU will start at around $500 USD.

Thanks for the material

If your talking about custom water loops then a good starting point would be a kit by EK.

The cheapest of which are the Aluminium kits like the A240G (for Nivida GPU's) and A240r ( for AMD cards) . This kit cools both CPU and GPU, has a single 240 rad, 2 fans, pump/res combo, tubing, and fittings. You just need to then buy the coolant.

 

now if we are talking AIO's ..dont. Unless ur have room for a 360mm AIO, dont bother, they aint worth it over a top end Air cooler.

can i connect my aio pump to psu directly . will it affect my water pump

500-1000$ is a decent price range to buy 'every' thing  you need. and  its just get more expensive the 'fancier' the parts you want are

Can’t ask such a vague question with little to no context.

If needed ek does offer alum rads in different sizes also.

I know what you said. You didn’t say what you have.

i have a nzxt kraken m22 

and my mother board does not have 2 cpu fan port instead it has sys fan port.

so i read somewhere thae pump should always be running at constant rpm.

so i thougt of pluging it directly to my psu. is it safe?

The pump should be on the cpu fan header. The fans should be on a fan header. If you don’t have a way to plug the header into the psu correctly, no you should not be plugging it into the psu directly.

i didnt undestand . i have only one cpu fan header. And i have a sys fan header in my motherboard. 

And i have one doubt ,

1) should the rpm of the pump be constant

2) should it alwasys run 100% 

[Mick Naughty]

So you have have 2 fan headers. I don’t see the issue. Run the fans off one and the pump off the other. 

 

Doesnt matter which speed you use. I’d imagine it only effects longevity. 

 

Run it at 40/50%. That’s what I do with my pumps.
