hi bois and girls

 

i wanna build a custom water cooling loop for my gpu and cpu

 

the thing is: i have a 5 year old corsair hydro series 100i

i may buy a second radiator, lets say 2x120 or 3x120 and a reservoir

 

does the pump have to power to get all the water through?

and does it have the power to cool an rtx 2080 and a "300 - 400 euro cpu"  (probably going to be amd cause they "dick on" intel as linus just said)

 

thanks in advance

chris

It should be able to, but seriously- don't f(.)[K with a aio. It'll end badly, unless youre experienced. 

I am NOT a professional and a lot of the time what I'm saying is based on limited knowledge and experience. I'm going to be incorrect at times.

Doubt it’s gonna be enough. You want the restriction of another rad and a block. Asking a lot of that old little pump. 
Im sure it would “work” but anything would in that case.
