First Watercooling loop

[buchi18]

Hey guys i am think about making my first costum watercooling loop. 

I only want to cool my cpu cause for my gpu there are only ugly blocks and the temps leave enough headroom even after overclocking. 

I have enough room for a 240mm 40 mm thick rad and fans. 

Since its my first loop i will go for soft tubing. 

Now i wanted to knoe what you guys think about the fluidgaming stuff from ek. 

The price seems to good to be true i know that all is aluminum, so adding something to the loop would be hard to find parts. 

But i could sell it to friend of mine if a want to build another loop. 

Or is there an option of cooper stuff that isnt like 5 times the price?

No there aren’t kits for the same price. Wouldn’t make sense. Also adding stuff to the aluminum kit isn’t hard. Just buying a proper gpu. Which people don’t think about and end up trying to get a block for one later. 

 

Either spend the cash or go cheap.

I have an EK Fluid Gaming loop, and I really like it. Temps are at most 1-2 degrees off from copper, and assembly wasn't too bad. The parts are all very high quality for the price, as you'd expect from EK.

 

The one suggestion I would have would be to get yourself a 90-degree pump bracket- the flat bracket that comes with the kit only fits cases with no lower shroud and bottom fan mounts, which is pretty rare nowadays. With a 90-degree bracket you simply mount it to your front radiator.
