custom loop

[stonowinnerz]

Hi, How much would a custom water cooling loop cost? I have 8600K and RTX 2070. The maximum radiator size is 360mm.

And it will be fine, if it has some ARGB stuff

Thank you

Depends on the parts as quality and name are a big factor. A good start would be around 500-600 usd. Could go bottom barrel and get some aliexpress stuff and spend half as much.

http://www.ekwb.com Go to the link on that page that will go step by step to design a custom loop and it will give you a shopping list for all the parts you need including fittings, should help with getting you a ball park

Thanks mates  can you give me some xmpls? and what's ballpark please?

Thank you

What do you think about thermaltake? They have fine kit with argb stuff:

And I asked them and they said I can incorporate gpu cooling to it What do u think?

[Mick Naughty]

Should be fine. Not of fan of the looks but should get you the performance you want. 

 

Just be sure to buy the same fittings as what tubing the kit uses when you add the gpu later.

I just found out that TT controller doesn't have normal 3-pin connector, so I will not be able to sync everything in Mystic Light software (bcs case fans from MB530P has normal 3-pin and I will not have slot where to connect it). So I decided to take EK stuff.  But they have just RGB stuff, not an ARGB is there any company like EK, but more into aRGB? Thank you

[Mick Naughty]

No idea. Don’t buy that kinda stuff. I buy my fans for performance on paper. 

 

You mean is there a company that specializes in water cooling but has argb stuff? Don’t think there is one. 

[stonowinnerz]

Okay. And, I have ML360R rn, if i'll buy res, pump, tubes and gpu block. Can I make loop from it? Can I use the radiator and cpu block from ML360R? Or It should be all by EK?

[Mick Naughty]

If you want to cut it all up, sure. Better off selling it and getting the correct stuff. 

[stonowinnerz]

Thank you man, do you have any info about ARGB things by EKWB?

[Mick Naughty]

Nope, I bought all my stuff before that was offered. So haven’t really looked. 

 

I just got rgb light strips and called it a day.

Barrow has rgb blocks now, not sure of the type. They don’t have their own fan series though, not that I’m aware of.

And what about copper loop? For how much I can get all-copper loop?

[GeoSquigg]

Heres some ARGB CPU blocks from EKWB ..

Planing to use these blocks when/if I upgrade my cpu .. they look nice

Not sure what you mean. Copper as is copper piping like old rigs or copper blocks? Because that’s the same as the original estimate. $500/600usd depending on part quality and manufacture.

And one guy told me:
A copper loop will be around $800-$1000 for a good one.

[Mick Naughty]

Well they mean the blocks. Like I said, it depends on the components themselves. 

[stonowinnerz]

Oh, okay, thank you

[andrewmp6]

Last time i added it up a loop for cpu and gpu is 500 to 800 depending what blocks and how fancy you want it to look.Have you looked around http://www.performance-pcs.com/

Or you can play with this https://www.ekwb.com/custom-loop-configurator/

Is thermaltake fine in cooling stuff?
