I need help

[DaPCGamers]

I want to make my first custom watercooling loop. I have a $200 budget for all of the parts. I have a LGA 1150 socket

What are you looking to cool ? cpu ? gpu ? What size rad ? what's your case ?

[Archangel1994]

$200 is not even close to enough for a custom loop, like not even close

[SirBobson]

GPU? Case? etc. so we know what will fit.

I am going to use the Pentium anniversary edition. Will not be cooling my GPU and my case is the NZXT Guardian 921 RB and a 120 or 140 mm rad

I know I can get a custom loop for $200, I have already priced one out for $200 but I have never looked for these types of parts and just wanted some help.

IMHO, i don't think you wont be-able to set up any watercooling. It's doesn't show and rad support on the NZXT website, but if you are really gonna try. Get a Single 120mm All in one unit. Like a H140-X. You can expand it in the future adding more rads and or more GPU blocks.

I want to see your parts then because good WC components cost tons

I dont want an all in one. I want to build it my self

I think you should either get a cheaper air cooling rad now and save the money to get custom water cooling later or go all out on an aio because with $200 i think its near impossible to get a good and durable custom water cooling loop for anything

[SirBobson]

I don't really see much point in this i think it would be wiser to spend the money on a new cpu instead of custom water cooling but that's just my opinion.

^this. A Pentium can often even be OC'ed on the stock cooler, let alone a mid-level air cooler.

 

And like @ArchAngel 1994 pointed out, $200 will likely not provide you a custom loop with both good quality and good performance (which IMHO is what people should look for if they decide to go for water cooling).

So, would you mind posting the components you chose for that $200 loop?

[airdeano]

$200 for new parts is tough and retain quality and trouble-free functions.

 

cpu block $50

radiator $50

tubing $20

fittings $15

reservoir $35

pump $75 (DDC or D5, others are a swing in the dark)

fans $20

 

avoid eBay "import" kits as they are not spec'd, guaranteed, of have any quality.

 

as asked, list your "kit" and let us help you get the best for your money and then

you make that determination if it is feasible with what you have.

This is as cheap as i could find. Bit over your budget but would be worth the extra $$$

This might appear harsh but don't waste your time.

For what you're intending to do you'll spend a lot of money and get no improvement over a D14\15 if anything it will be noisier and you'll have increased your maintenance overhead. A single 120\140 in a custom loop with the associated components would be a waste of your money.

Buy a case more suitable for water cooling and a top quality air cooler and then start saving.
