Water cooling

[NatersCNF]

If I wanted to make a custom water cooling loop would it matter if I used a cheap reservoir and radiator?

Or would it be better to fork out the cash for stuff from a bigger name like corsair or eqwb?

Resevoir and Radiators aren't super important by brand, jsut made sure they're not bad, and won't break. Also I wouldn't bother as its not more than 5 dollars of difference. Also be careful with cheap res combos, as you want to always use a D5 pump.

So basically just make sure you use cheap reservoirs that don't have a built in pumps and just use external pumps?

First of all try to tag or quote ppl so we can see what you replied.

So $400 for everything yes? Res/pump combo, rads, fittings etc or just the res/pump

That answers everything  

For cheap but still decent parts look for something from Barrow.

Id say go cheap on the res but that depends of its something you have to look at a lot. I really prefer the res's that go in a fan spot.

Rads being cheap is fine if you aren't cooling much or have room for multiple.

I've actaually thought it through and am going to use more expensive water cooling parts.

Not sure how’s the market in Canada but in UK I bought all my parts for loop brand new, never used but from second hand, mostly ebay. It takes time to collect all components this way but you can save bunch of $ 

I’ve spend on my loop £350, if I want to buy it from shop it would cost me roughly £800

I feel like the main thing will be trying to get a gpu block for a cheaper card then a 1080 ti

I've been looking for block for a 2060 super that isn't a founders.

know anything about that?
