AM3+ Waterblock Compatible With Hardline Tubing

I'm not a big watercooler but, in the near future, I'm looking to watercool my current system. I do know how to bend the tubing but need a CPU waterblock compatible with hardline tubing. Any lowish price recommendations?

(Sorry for repeating myself)

Am3+ and watercooling should NOT be used in the same sentence...cause this is like:

Anything.. you just need to buy the right fittings. Most people say don't water cool an AMD since your water cooling setup usually cost more than your setup.. Might as well put that money into doing an upgrade instead and tossing on an all in one cooler.

I'm not very good when it comes to researching watercooling. I've done my best, but I want to get recommendations from someone who has done hardline cooling before. Safety first!

Why not? There's nothing wrong with water cooling an AMD build. Or really any build for that matter.

 

An inexpensive build is actually the best way to learn custom water cooling since most everything can be transferred to a newer build, including the CPU block in the case of some models such as the EK Supremacy EVO. If someone I knew wanted to experiment with custom water cooling, I'd give them one of the AM2+ boards I have sitting around.

It's not the water block that needs to be compatible, but the fittings. Any hardline fittings will work in almost any AM3+ compatible water block. EK Supremacy EVO is the more popular one, but there are plenty of other blocks out there. On the fittings, it'll depend more on the dimensions of the tubing you intend to use since that determines what fittings are compatible.

 

The only CPU blocks you might need to be concerned about with hardline fittings are ones where the inlet and outlet are too close together. If you see a warning on the box to not use compression fittings, then it's not compatible. I think the only block on which I've seen such a warning, though, is AlphaCool's CPU block. I don't think I've ever seen it with any others.

My build: Mira - Ryzen 7 3700X, 32GB EVGA DDR4-3200, ASUS Prime X470-PRO, EVGA RTX 3070 XC3, beQuiet Dark Base 900, EVGA 1000 G6
