AIO vs Custom

[DiamondHead1022]

I want to water cool my cpu because my NHD-15 does not let me access the top pcie slot on my mobo but I do not know whether to go with a 360 aio or a custom loop with a 360 rad i have a corsair 680x a 3900x in a x570 godlike and a 2080ti kingpin so what should i do.

How many of your monies do you wanna spend?

It all depends on how much your looking to spend and how comfortable you are with water cooling.

If it's just the CPU you might get away with custom at max budget.  You just won't be getting the best of anything and if that's the case you may be better off with a much cheaper AIO.

If you have the money I’d say go for a custom loop if you are new to custom loops I’d suggest you get A kit like https://www.ekwb.com/shop/kits

I'd recommend pricing out a custom loop and seeing if it's what you are comfortable spending.  And if not then go with an AIO.  

 

Custom loop including: radiator ~ $120, water block ~ $100, pump and reservoir ~ $125, tubing ~ $?, fittings ~ $not as cheap as you'd think, fans ~ $60.
