Would these parts work for a custom loop?? First Custom Liquid cooled PC

[13hanifz]

So basically I've got an kraken x40 and it is really good at cooling my Fx 8350 @ 5ishGhz but it just doesn't look that cool so I want to build an completely custom loop but I'm not sure if the parts I have picked are compatible so basically I want you to tell me if it works or tell me to change anything, I'm a complete noob at custom cooling.

Thanks

And I will buy everything else later such as the silicon insert extra fans and fan splitters, the cheap stuff.

 

I thought about using a Kit and buying Hardline compression fittings and some PETG tubes but EKs kits are to expensive and Alphacools kits are all bay reservoir and I want to get a nzxt h440 and the h440 doesn't have any drive bays.

 

I was using this from EKs Website https://www.ekwb.com/solutions/custom-loop/#needed-components

 

Hope You Can Help. :-)

you need  a tower res in the H440 

 

and EK's kits are actually alittle cheaper then if you were to get everything separate last time i checked

Whats wrong with the res

don't forget you're gonna need a heat source and a silicone insert to bend that PETG tubing

 

I would also probably think about a thicker radiator for some better cooling.

 

What fans are you grabbing? you're gonna need a controller or PWM splitter from a motherboard header

I already have a heat gun and getting some corsair fans. they have like interchangeable colour rings.

Not to rain on your parade, but you could have a nice i5 and motherboard for about the same amount as the loop and it will help performance much more. Then you could watercool that instead or just run it on air.

Mum wont let me, I built my pc as my 14th Bday 'early present' this is for my 15th. anyway I think i5s are a waste of money. x99 is what I want to upgrade to.

Oh, alright. I'm not familiar with PETG tubing, so I can't really talk there. The rest of the parts should be fine. Still would not recommend a custom loop in this situation. What are your temps like now?Oh, and the rad you called a 120 is actually a 240. Make sure the dye has an anticorrosive and a biocide.
