H105

[Amer]

Hello,

I was wondering if the H105 is basically Water Cooling why do people prefer making their own Water Cooling system. Aren't they both the same? If not please tell me which is better. .

When you do a custom loop you have the flexibility to choose the block, radiator size/thickness along with the coolant and pump. Usually when people do custom loops, they include the GPU's. Something you can't do with an h105 for example, or any closed loop for that matter (except the swiftech h220 ofc.).

Do you recommend me to Custom Water Cool it? I'm new to these stuff but I think I can do it via tutorials.

how silent do you want your build to be? and do you have a few hundred bucks to spend

It's very expensive, compared to closed loop coolers. If you only want to watercool the CPU and aesthetics isn't a major factor to you (the h100i is actually really neat), then i would opt for the closed loop ones.

I have money, money is not a problem. And I want it to be very silent.

What's wrong with the h105? And I might want to Water Cool the GPU to overclock my PC.

in that case, i would go with a nice case with lots of rad space, and make a custom loop. make sure to read up on all the water cooling info you can find first though

"might" doesn't cut it for me. It's not cheap at aaaaall to do custom water cooling. The h105 is perfectly fine aswell. I just think the h100i is the prettiest of all the closed loops

Case will be Phantom 820. And I really have no expirence in Custom Water Cooling but I think I can learn. And can you tell me the stuff I need to do a custom loop?

Oh, and if you want your GPU under water a little bit cheaper, then the NZXT G10 might be of your interrest. I believe you can use the h105 on your GPU with that bracket.

In that case yes, I will want to be cooling my GPU so I can overclock it. And yeah but I don't see any differences in the h100i and h105 but the h105 looks more advanced.

i suggest looking at linus's extreme water cooling video's like this one:

Naw, the Phantom 820 is a very beast case and can fit anything in it trust me it's huge.

I've learned a lot from this dude here. He's really good at his thing. You can also watch Linus' tutorial on water cooling

Just watched both tutorials. Everything is easy but the mounting the radiators. Plus I don't even think that 3+ radiators can even fit on a Phantom 820.
