Watercooling first

I want to get a small watercooling loop for my gpu and cpu but i dont know what to get?
I have 2 fans already for it.

Nvidia GTX 660 - EVGA
AMD FX 8320 AM3+ Socket
Corsair Carbide 500r Case
my budget is $180. or £100

Thank you anyone whom helps out smile.png

 

And anyone wandering... I am going to upgrade in the near future.

Can't afford water cooling with that budget.

Unless the OP goes AIO.

Ehhhh you could do a Kraken G10 as well as an H80i and h100i for cpu, but its not worth it.

That GPU is not worth water cooling in the least bit. 

 

If it is a reference design, a G10 might make a bit of sense since you can reuse it in the future.

do they even make water blocks for 660s?

 

edit: they do wow

 

another edit: i should probablly actually contribute to this thread so i would recommend you get a higher end system before you get a loop ($180 inst enough anyway)

Yeah it's a good idea to wait. I would save about $400-500 for a nice custom loop, but before then you need a computer worth watercooling. At the end of the day it's up to you but I wouldn't watercool that hardware

Sadly you won't be able to water cool a CPU and GPU for that money unless you buy those cheap no name kit on ebay. You can get a good to great kit for just the CPU though. The GPU may have a full cover block if not you can buy a universal block for it but if you do not have a fan to cool the RAM and vrms then your card may die.

 

I suggest you check you GPU's make and model on EKWB.com and see if there is a full cover block for your GPU before you make a decision or purchases.
