Waterblock... Don't know jack about it

[Vlence]

So around the end of this year I'm probably getting myself a zen and the flagship pascal/polaris(or vega) card. A build from scratch.

 

Should I get those liquid coolers like the seidon or that full system tube thingy... I don't even know what that setup is called... I don't even know how that works.

 

Explanation. Please

For ease of use, AIO

For best performance, custom loop

 

That's the standard rule

Along with those threads I would suggest that you watch these videos from JayzTwoCents. He is considered the "Watercooling God of YouTube" and he knows his shit. If you still have questions after that there are plenty of people on the forum that would be willing to help you figure it out (myself included).

All In One CPU cooler

 

Those are the self contained water coolers, like a Corsair H110i V2 (that's the one I have) for example.

 

It means the water block, pump, reservoir, radiator and tubing are all self contained.

This means you have a whole, easy-to-use water cooling system for your CPU for about $100-$125

It's just for the CPU? What about the rest of the merchandise?

AIO stands for All-In-One. It means that the manufacturer has put together the pump, radiator, tubing/fittings, and coolant all together in a neat package. It makes it easy to water cool, but it limits the capacity of the system and you can't do your own maintenance/customization. There are some manufacturers that are starting to make systems that allow you to add in additional components so that you can expand the loop and smaller things like adding dye to the coolant, but the standard AIOs only cool one part (usually the CPU).

Ones such as the model I listed, are just for CPU.

However, you can get cards with built in AIO coolers, such as the EVGA GTX 980ti Hybrid.

Corsair also sells AIO coolers that you install yourself by removing the stock cooler that came with the card
