Planning to build new pc

[bobman279]

I am going to make a new pc soon and i want to liquid cool it i have been on many sites trying to find the parts that you need to do this including the swiftech website and i was just wondering why is swiftech out of stock of so many of their products? they are the main one for custom liquid cooling loops that I know any suggestions for online stores that deliver to the us?

Comments are appreciated and thank you for your time.

After christmas and new year there is a 'dead time' in sales, because of vacations and so on.

Just give it a little time.

Anyways, if u live in USA, you can try frozencpu, they have many things in stock all the time.

i just noticed there is 2 graphics card waterblocks and they have different brand names on them. Msi and Gigabyte will they fix regardless of the brand as long as the models are the same?

Don't get this as an absolute idea, this is just my opinion.

But even on markets in my city quite a lot things are out of stock, so...

It can differ because of a manufacturer, but often it doesn't matter.

U'd better listen to someone more experienced in this topic.

Personally, I usually get fullcover waterblocks for specific man-r.

These two blocks are different look at the underside cut outs where they contact the gpu. Which card do you have exactly because it depends on the exact card not just the brand when it come to compatibility as some cards are a reference pcb design and others are custom aftermarket pcb designs.

 

also remember to follow your topics so you get notified if no one quotes or @s you bobman279

Yeah, I've noticed this, so that's why I adviced to listen to someone else.

It's really imortant to cover all the components properly.

Will also mind this thing for my future builds.

If you need a place to reference for pcb layouts http://www.coolingconfigurator.com/ works well for determining if a gpu is reference or not.
