I want to make an external loop for my 980 Classified i'm getting this week.

 

I traded my 780 ti classified + some money for a 980 Classified + EK waterblock and it does 1595 mhz on the core and 8712 mhz on the memory on water at 1.212v, I want to run it at 1.3v 24/7 for 1650-1700 mhz, and occasionally benchmark at 1.4v for points on hwbot.org.

I have a 480mm x 60mm radiator from my old build that had a leak, but I'm 95% sure I've patched it correctly and it doesn't seem to leak anymore.  However, I'm not going to put it near or in my case, on the off chance it ever decides to leak again.

 

My plan is to get like a plastic container and prop the rad in it, then attach fans to the radiator and put it on the dresser next to my PC (it's about 1-2 feet away).  If I do that, and run a small pump & res combo with tubes going into the case and attached to the GPU, I can achieve what I wanted to do without spending a shit-ton of money on a custom loop.

 

This will give me time to save up for the loop, and I can get a proper pump/res combo later on down the road.

 

 

 

 

 

Anybody have any ideas on the cheapest res & pump combo I can get?   Doesn't need to have crazy pressure, just enough for the 480 x 60mm radiator, and a GPU block. Res also doesn't need to be big at all.

This seems to be about the cheapest I can find.
