This is a watercooling someone suggested me,

The red/black cooler kit fits perfect in my build,

but will it keep my cpu cooled?

and Will it fit in the Case? and not hanging outside the case, because I've seen some videos about that.

 

My budget is 500$, and It's only for the CPU

 

Or should I get red tubing instead of Transparant

Thanks, Crow

What's your budget? Do you plan on adding the GPU's to the loop in the future?

My budget is max 500$, and no, only the Cpu

Oke, you could do a 240 or 360mm (if you're not using the 5.25" bays) Alphacool XT45.

 

Red 1/2 ID 3/4 OD Primochill Advanced LRT tubing. Swiftech Apogee XL waterblock (and use the included red color film on the LED light) or a IMO cleaner looking EK Supremacy waterblock.

 

EK D5 140mm XRES/pump top combo with a Swiftech MCP655 PWM pump.

 

Bitspower or Monsoon compression fittings 1/2 ID 3/4 OD, you'll need 6.

 

With a 360 XT45, bitspower fittings and the EK block it'll be about $450 or less. This is more than enough for an OC'ed 4790K and leaves pretty of room for future expansion, if you decide afterwards that you do want the GPU's in there. You can have cheaper loop that still performs great with a 240 XT45, monsoon fittings, the swiftech block and DDC pump and EK res/pump top combo. (taken into account that you only want to do the CPU). $350-$380. 

 

Just have a look at all the components I've stated (FrozenCPU) and decide what looks you like etc, the looks is personal opinion and how much you're willing to spend.

That kit will keep the CPU very cool but if your budget is $500 i would suggest you build one from scrap and you can tailor it to your color scheme. See if you like this:-

1xRadiator = $59.99

1xCPU Block = $44.99

1xPump/reservoir $149.99

2xCompression Fittings = $60

2xSilver Bullets = $11.99

3xFans = $47.85

8 feet of Tube = $44

1xdye = $9.99

2xRed Cold Cathode $4.99

1xFan Splitter = $11.49

2xRed 5mm tailed LED for the reservoir tube = $4

 

Total = $449.28 Change is for shipping i guess. ;)

Yeah a large bottle of high grade distilled water and then you mix the feser dye into it to get the red color. Not sure if you can get that where you live but if not well just add pre-mixed coolant.
