Hi guys

So I want to build a custom water cooling loop and I wanted to buy the extreme 360mm ek kit but my friend says it is shit so I want to build my own loop I need a lot of help tho.

I have a intel i7-4790k a radeon r9 fury x and I want the loop to be red (clear) pls help (I do like the components from the ek kit but want a bay reservoir and good fans like i.e noctua)

Buy off of one store. Im buying of EK since its the only manufacturer that ships to my country. You will want at least 2 by 240mm rads to watercool the gpu and cpu if you want to overclock both. Buy a bay resevoir if your cases allows for it. EK Vardar fans because they are quiet and have high performance and for fittings watch a few vids because you will want to get how they work for yourself.

Why would he say a 360mm Rad is sh*t? Does he have experiances with it?

If it was me I'd get the rad 

 

But if you want a custom loop it will be almost 3x the price

The EKWB kits aren't bad in anyway really I would recommend the P360 kit if you wanted to go that route and get a good base to build on for your loop and to add in a GPU.
