okay so im going to list my specs before anyone ask.

i9 9900k

aorus master z390 gygabyte.

32 gb ram trident z 3000mhz

h115i pro cooler 280mm

evga rtx 2080 ti ftw3 ultra 3 fans

my case is the corsaie 570x

 

 

okay so iv been waiting a long time to have a custom loop, and now seeing corsair launching their hydro x series gives me a push forward to get one.

 

so few questions, i wanna cool only the cpu for now since corsair dont have any gpu blocks for mine yet, i know i might not get any performance wise but its my first time doing a loop and im excited to work on it and looks really fine espcially in my case. my budget is 1k. what things that works to my case? i cant fit anything at the top and only to the front. keep in mind my gpu is beefy so what radiator works to the front and what not?

Well you can go pretty big on the front as the card isn’t that big. But you would be limited by the top radiator if you do a 240 up there. Need to decide on how much cooling you want first. Then just google the case and see what people are doing.

Have you thought about using the Custom Cooling Configurator on the Corsair site? Just a thought ;) Here a Configuration Code for your setup - dfXFYi
