Need help finding a cheap water cooling loop

[richie12346]

Hi.

I was wondering if anybody could make me a cheap water cooling loop for the cpu only which is a I7 5960X. I have 2 gtx 980ti's in there and the case I am using is the corsair graphite 780T. The price must be less 3200 nok or the same using this site https://www.komplett.no/category/10462

They offer 2 kits EKWB EK-KIT X360 and the EKWB EK-KIT X240 or should I just stick with one of those?

Thank you in advance

For that pricepoint of ~$400 USD is not really doable, watercooling is not cheap by any means, for a good quality loop you are looking at around $500-600USD minimum for a dual GPU loop. 

 

Starting with a kit and expanding it with GPU blocks is a good way to save some money for a watercooling loop however.

An AIO loop??

 

For a dual GPU custom loop that's not possible.

I think your best bet would be the EKWB X240. It should be enough if you just want to cool the CPU. The X360 is better if you plan to add the GPU later on.

Oh no oh no. I apoligize for the confusion. I just felt that I should mention that. He only made it for the cpu.

Would that fit in a corsair 780T?

Ok that's doable with the EKWB kits if you want to watercool everything however you will need to get extra fittings and GPU waterblocks, not to mention ideally another rad if your go for the X360 kit from EKWB.

 

And yes a 360mm rad can fit in the top of the 780T.

One of theses two the EKWB one is good, and the XSPC one also the XSPC one does have a better pump (the D5). If you want to integrate both GPU's you will need waterblcoks from EKWB and some extra fittings/tubing.

Would you recommend one over the other or is it my decision? Do these water cooling solutions work on the lga 2011-3? It doesn't say on the website.

Yes both are compatible for 2011 sockets, I would personally go for the EKWB kit it has better fans and one of the best CPU waterblocks on the market and the DDC is still a very capable pump just behind the D5.
