Water Cooling My PC

[TheBestGuy]

Hey guys... was wondering if someone could help me out with this. I want to make a custom loop for an i5 3570k and MSI 7870 Ghz edition(not twin frozr or hawk edition) This is going into a Fractal Design Define r4 with a black/blue color scheme. Could someone help me with a parts list for this build like tubing, radiator, fittings, reservoir, cpu/gpu water block, pump( preferably speed variant) Also I have a h100 and I was wondering if I could mod the radiator and use it.

1. Don't watercooling is expensive. (I spend 1200€ on my loop) 

2.It's not worth it unless you have high end stuff.

If you go to the FAQ look at section 2.8, you will find a "basic loop" parts list that you can add to.

 

For your GPU, check if blocks exist on www.coolingconfigurator.com.

1. You got ripped off lol.

2. His build is water cooling worthy I suppose.

A i5 and a 7870? no...

A i5 and a 7870? no... 

It may not seem like high end hardware, but I'm looking to attain better temps than what I am currently getting with a h100 and I know my card than take the over volting and frequencies. And I know for a fact that a loop doesn't cost that much unless you're using high end water blocks.

^^ this.

 

for a pre-thought you might be able to use a UT60 280 in the front intake if your

overclock isn't burnin' down the house as in this thread: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/103719-how-much-rad-you-really-need/.

 

i couldn't use a radiator that small for my midid, but seems other can.. but it is

dependent on your overclocking skills, hardware and knowledge.

 

you might have a hard time finding a proper water block for your GPU. since

that card had three revisions, not many mannies offer one if all three. good luck!
