Is this good for a starting "kit"?

[drewtcjones]

I am just messing around and was looking to see how much it would cost to watercool my system. Am i missing anything or is there anything in here that isn't compatible? 

 

My Build is in my signature and here's the cart that i had on EK http://i.imgur.com/XQ0BC4g.png

 

I don't think there is a full block for my card but if there is one that would be awesome.

I'd advise against using Pastel coolant:

 

Edit: It might just be Mayhems Pastel, not sure about EK.

 

 

Also, use EK's https://www.ekwb.com/configurator/ to find the proper block for your card, I'm almost sure there is one.

 

Also get plenty of extra fittings of various types, you never know if you're gonna need them.

yeah, i used the configurator and there weren't any full blocks sadly. and i'll change from pastel to ____? What do you recommend for coolant, orange juice?

Well...

 

 

I would look around for a coolant that's been on the market for a while and has a good reputation. Pastel has gained some age and now it's showing it's true colors, although it used to be a very good coolant.

will do, and yeah i saw that video from Jay lol. 

 

Would a pump/reservoir be powerful enough to feed through the rad and two blocks?

Oh yes, no problem. 

 

I'd also recommend a 360mm or an additional 120mm radiator if you can, you'll get the best temps that way. Also make sure your fittings and tubing are the same size.

Missing a few fittings, need 2 for each component and you need fans for the radiator. Think you might be better off actually buying one of their CPU kits then add your gpu into the loop later. I'd recommend a 360 radiator if you're doing cpu and gpu.

i dont think i can fit a 360 in my R4 though... lol

Oh. You'll need 2 240's then.

[airdeano]

reconsider the radiator as a simple 240 to cool the CPU and GPU if any voltage

overclocking is being done, you do not have enough radiator 360 minimum or

2x 240 to have low fan speeds (quiet ops) and cool loaded temperatures.
