Choosing a Custom Loop

[mcmilk11]

Hi, my first "custom loop" was a corsair H80 that i add a reservoir.

 

So now i want to buy a custom loop, i chekc a lot of pages but i'm a noob.

 

my budget is $250 

 

Can you help to choose the pieces?

 

 

One of my problems is that i have a NXZT H440 case that doesn't has Bay.

 

to start just CPU but then i want GPU too.

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks and regards.

won't be able to build a custom loop for 250, not counting ghetto ways

I mean if you go to your next home depot and look for some plumbing stuff, would go with an good AiO or Air Cooler tbh

LOL, i have $250 plus shipping.

IMO its a bit reckless to build a custom loop with 250$. You'll end up regretting it once you realise you skimped a bit too much on the part choice.

 

Do custom loops if you have enough money (350 - 500$) , i would recommend saving up for an EKWB X240 or X360

What about L240? what is the diferences with X240?

You should be able to get a kit with a decent pump and a 120 or even 240 rad for around $250 such as the NexXxoS Cool Answer 240 DDC/XT. On their site it's ~200€, around 212USD plus shipping. L240 from EK has a DCP pump, dunno about that.

 

Still, I'd recommend to save up a bit more money for a loop with your choice of hardware. My planned loop is probably over 800€ already, including coolant and the needed accessories. 2x 240 rads for CPU + GPU (maybe 2 later).

 

@mcmilk11 L240 Has a DC pump and X240 has a DDC pump. There's a reason behind the pricing.
