Custom loop is damn too expensive

Is kraken g10 good?

And i have my x61 for my cpu then i bought this g10 and x41

Is it okay x41 for cpu and x61 gpu because gpu is hotter

x41 for GPU and x61 for CPU. GPU has larger surface area so it dissipates heat better.

My PC CPU: 2600K@4.5GHz 1.3v Cooler: Noctua NH-U12P SE2 MB: ASUS Maximus IV RAM: Kingston 1600MHz 8GB & Corsair 1600MHz 16GB GPU: 780Ti Storage: Samsung 850 Evo 500GB SSD, Samsung 830 256GB SSD, Kingston 128GB SSD, WD Black 1TB,WD Green 1TB. PSU: Corsair AX850 Case: CM HAF X. Optical drive: LG Bluray burner  MacBook Pro, Hackintosh

I'm on my kindle, so I will answer you tomorrow when I'm at my computer. Yes the G10 is good. Use the X61 for CPU and X41 for GPU. Will go into detail later.

But i only have 4570 or i might upgrade to 4690k

And im using r9 290x hitting 90 i know its okay but i cant overclock

Well I mean do what you want, but x41 on gpu and x61 on cpu will get you the best overall performance especially if you OC your cpu.

Check out my Dual AIO Watercooling Guide to get more in-depth answers, but here is the general idea:

 

Its surprising that you have such a big AIO for a non-overclockable CPU, but you say maybe you will upgrade later?  Anyways, you should keep the X61 for your CPU.  There are massive diminishing returns after 120mm radiators when doing the G10 mod.  The difference between an H55 and an X61 is less than 10C difference on a GPU.  An H55 for $50 is generally the best deal.  I wouldn't go any larger than 140mm.

 

What specific R9 290X do you have and I can get started on a parts list.
