Hello everyone, I'm having a heat issue in my current tower and am looking into custom loop liquid cooling and I have no idea what parts to get or where to even get them from.. Cost isnt 'much' of an issue but I would prefer good quality so I don't have to worry about the parts failing at some point.

 

My parts list:

 

MSI GTX 970 | 2-Way SLI

I7-6700K

MSI Z170A Gaming M5 Mobo

Corsair Graphite Series 780T Full Tower Case

G.Skill Ripjaws 4 Series 32GB 2133Mhz

 

Thanks to anyone that takes the time to help out. I do live in Canada so I would highly prefer Canadian sites or places that for sure ship to Canada

why do you want it?

its pretty much spending $600-800 on aesthetics

you dont get a lot of performance out of your money

 

but if you really do what to spend that money, I woudl suggest buying an ek predator and expanding that in the future, especially if this is your first time dealing with custom watercooling

the fact that you "have no idea what parts to get" suggests that you sould do more research before attempting watercooling at all

going into this with little information and skill can make you loose thousands of dollars of PC parts to a leak

 

check out SingularityComputers on youtube and watch some of his videos, they are extremely informative and will help you learn about what parts you need or want in a custom loop

when you can choose your own parts list, that probably means you're ready to build the loop

It's not really that I 'dont have any idea what to get' it's that I myself haven't dealt with liquid cooling, I don't plan to be the one setting it up though, my co-worker has Liquid cooling in his and he is okay with helping me set it up. Since I am forced with how my Mobo is placed in the case the Graphics cards are too close and causing one to hit very high temps according to MSI which is giving me a default alert since it is hitting 75-80C
