Help! Need recommendations for water cooling hardware

[ChiDolphin12]

Good evening (or morning whoever is reading this),

 

I recently bought a used graphics card off of r/hardwareswap with the intention of receiving an air-cooled card so it could just be a plug-n-play upgrade. However, I was sent a card that shipped with a water block attached. I'm not complaining about the free upgrade, but now I have to buy hardware to cool the darn thing.

 

Anyone have recommendations for custom water cooling equipment?

In need of everything but the gpu waterblock and cpu waterblock (not currently interested in watercooling my cpu atm).

Alphacool, often cheaper than EK and the guys are super nice & helpful

But they mostly deserve Europe, may be hard to find elsewhere

Anyway, you need

A pump and a reservoir, a small DC and small res will be enough, or you can get a combo pump+res

A rad, at least 280mm (quieter) or 360 (better perf) with fans, I'd recommend Arctic P12 or P14 (3-pack)

Enough tubing for 3 tubes (block to pump to res), so max 1.5m

Min 6 fittings, but I'd also get an additional pair and put a drain between them, will ease maintenance if you don't have an easily accessible res for refilling
