First Time Custom Water Cooling Help.

[Duckegg]

So I really need Any help picking a CPU, GPU blocks, Radiator and the pump. That would fit in a Define R4

 

CPU: AMD FX8350

GPU: Asus 780

Case: Define R4

 

Tanks for the help. :3

Dayum.. There are soooo many options that you have to figure this out yourself man. There is no such thing as best when it comes to watercooling. The only advice for you would be the proper sizes and locations for radiators. But imo you should first read the watercooling stickies on this forum.

Max rads: thick 280mm radiator in the front (Alphacool UT60 in push, pull or push/pull). Thin 240 in the top (ST30 in push or pull).

 

Water blocks: EK, they have many variations. Go with the one you like. I recommend acetal + nickel. EK supremacy for the CPU, GTX 780 DCUII block for the GPU. 

 

Pump: any Liang D5 rebrand.

i like copper waterblocks because they move heat very efficiently and my favorite thermal compound is icy diamond

Whats your budget? That'll help alot. I've found EK and XSPC good from my own experience.

 

Is it a themed/colored type build?

Is a 240 rad good enough to cool my GPU and CPU?

I'm looking at what I need and try to make a budget around it

240 can be enough, but no overclocking at all. if looking to go with overclocking,

then you'll need 2x 240 setup for the R4 (should consider another case). the

front door option kills the air intake for a radiator and diminishes the air quantity

drastically. possible better option case would be the arc midi r2 or enthoo pro.

Black Ice GTX Radiator

Scythe Gentle Typhoon or Noctua NF-F12/A14 fans for radiator

For price/performance, again EKWB Water Block

 

There are better CPU block options, but they get exponentially more expensive for minimal returns.

 

This is also how you mount the radiator for pure performance, not in the case as these casuals suggest.

You guys are awesome.

 

I think I'm going to go for the Arc Midi R2, and install a 240 in the top and a 120 at the back. Hopefully that should be enough.

As well as the EK water block.

Haha But there are so many options!? How do you pick from them?
