CPU Water Cooling Question

[GrobfootGaming]

I have a 4690k in a PC and it has the stock fan right now.  I didn't spend 30 dollars more for stock speeds so I figured I would buy a new cooler and then overclock it.  Problem is, I'm picky about how it looks on the inside and i think aftermarket air coolers look dumb.  I see on LinusTechTips those cpu watercooling loops and I don't really know how they work but I want one.

 

Is the watercooling CPU loop just independently the CPU or do I have to watercool everything?  I just want the CPU cooled so can I just order one and install it without any other work or something?  I just need someone to explain the installation and maintaining of one because I have never used one before.

just buy the AiO

 

you just install it same as every other CPU cooler, you only need to mount the fans besides that

ther's no maintainance, only check every few weeks if there is any leaks, since water can damage your components

You can find a lot of stuff for watercooling at Jayz's channel.

Also, you can choose if you want a whole reservoir just for the CPU and another for the GPU or a single reservoir for both of them or just the CPU only.

 

There are a lot of possibilities with watercooling.

If you just want to cool the CPU and have no plans to cool other stuffs later on , then go for whatever AIO that you like.
If you do then might wanna take a look at either custom loops or expandable AIOs from Swiftech or EK, which are beginner friendly.
