Help with Water Cooling?

[CosmicMeteor]

Hey guys so I want to try and get my temps down and my noise levels down. I know a bit about water cooling and want to try it.

I'm not sure what my budget should be so Low-Medium

Im okay with radiators outside of the case as well.

Any suggestions?

Or did you mean a custom loop?

@MLGNOSCOPEHEADSHOTGETREKT @TokyoSin I'm interpreting the "Im okay with radiators outside of the case as well." as he wants a custom loop

 

 

EK are my personal favourite (@JayzTwoCents also likes them) for blocks, and they have quite a range, even if they are a bit pricey  They have a website that allows you to find compatible blocks for your hardware here: http://coolingconfigurator.com/

 

There are a few other companies such as swiftech, XSPC, and Aqua Computer to name a few

@Extingquish yeah, that's what I was getting at when I quoted @MLGNOSCOPEHEADSHOTGETREKT

Thanks! I will take a look! Any other advice?

With the actual build?

 

Just take your time and read the manuals for everything, and don't be afraid to look things up/ask someone if you're not sure. After all, you could potentially kill a $300 GPU if you do manage to royally mess up. However, in EK waterblocks the threads stop, meaning you'd strip the block before you destroy the card. 

 

*I just thought I'd add that I've never actually watercooled before, and all knowledge has been acquired from videos such as SingularityComputers or JayzTwoCents*

tbh, you'd be way better off using a proper chassis than making the 300R into

something it is not a water cooling case. will make the experience easier, less

foul-language because it doesn't work and what you are doing costs money

and hate to see that case ruin your needs/wants for water cooling.

What case would you recommend?
