Custom Water Cooler

[Nexo]

Hey do you guys know what part to get if I were to water cool a i7 4790k and a GTX 780 ti? I was thinking of the Swiftech MCP655 for the pump, RX380 Triple Fan Radiator, for CPU block Swiftech Apogee XL, for the compression fitting and the barb I'll get the swiftech ones. I don't know what to get for the rest of the parts though.

why?
you could get a second 780ti instead...

Well it's not me it's my friend. He just wants to try.

You should try the swiftech h220-x and a gpu block

It sounds like you already got most of the parts, you just need a GPU block, fans, and tubing

 

For GPU blocks, I'd tell him to get the one he thinks looks the best. Make sure you read up on the installation procedures before you purchase though. Some companies (Aquacomputer) use thermal paste on the RM modules. I don't know if they do that for all their blocks, but they certainly do that for their 290/X blocks.

 

For fans, you should pair them accordingly to your radiator. it looks like you'll have thick low fin density fins, so you should find fans that perform well at lower rpms (around 1000 or less). Corsair and noctua make pretty good fans, but noctuas are quite expensive. You can try looking at the Rosewill Hyperborea, which are a rebranded Akasa Apache. Silverstone makes good radiator fans too, and I believe Gelid wings and noiseblockers. I'm not too familiar with most of the fans.

 

For tubing, I like PrimeFlex Advanced LRT. I believe linus has a video about it.
