ok. could i do this kit then add a 280mm at the front for my gpu? https://shop.ekwb.com/ek-kit-l360-r2-0

yep. ur case does support 280 at the front.

 

But why don't you go for the AIO. When you cut the tubes and everything in that kit, it's gonna look like an AIO finally except that reservoir gonna be out.

 

Custom loop, transparent tube. this one is full black. makes no sense to me. So I suggest you to go AIO.

I have never really done any soft tubing build. Only hard tubing. It really up to your knowledge and experience with those kind stuff.

My first water cooling build, also the first hard tubing build is kind ridicules. And I don't respect everyone can do the something as first try.

OP, remember to follow your topics.

LTT did a video a Hardline Build Log, at the end they summarised by saying that a beginner should stick to soft tubing as it is much easier to estimate.

i mean like do it for my cpu then add a 280mm and a water block for my GTX 980

I'm really sorry.

 

I clearly don't get you.

 

That kit includes 360mm.

 

h105 is 240mm.

 

where do you get 280mm from?

On OCN, there are a lot of custom water cooling build in the 750D thread. You can check out there.

so could this kit work? https://shop.ekwb.com/ek-kit-l360-r2-0 if i hooked a 280mm rad with a water block for my 980 and have a full loop?

i mean buy a 280mm and a gpu water block to add to the cpu loop

yep u can do that.

 

I think that reservoir looks so tiny. I would go for a bigger one. But just for looks.

 

And as I told you earlier, you wanna stick with black tubing? most people would go for clear tubing and add color in the coolant and it'll look good. but that's my opinion.

 

Yes with that kit, you can technically do what you asked with no prob.
