Beginning more complex liquid cooling

[xXTheNewGuyXx]

I recently built a new rig with a self contained liquid cooling kit. Thermaltake's Water Extreme-S. Now that I've seen more videos and awesome liquid cooled rigs I want to try it out.

 

My case is a Corsair Vengeance C70. Decently roomy, and cable management is solid.

 

I do know that i am goin to relocate my radiator outside of the case. Thinking about a cylinder resevoir,almost like a T-Virus. Clear hoses, and i may or may not custom color the coolant. The pump will be installed in the bays above the hard drives.

 

Tips, product advice, etc. anything informative would be helpful.

try out the ek kits, you will just need a 240 slim so just replace ur AIO go with a bay res and u cant watercool that 960 so yeah a simple loop. 

 

like bay res/pump to cpu. cpu to rad, rad to bay res.

 

You dont need external as a 240 would be fine.

There are universal basic cooling blocks for the 960, i believe EK has them. Basically they're like the CPU cooling blocks. I wasn't to happy when i saw that there were no form fitting blocks for the 960.

 

AIO?

the 960 barely has any tdp and the fact that universal blocks look ulgy (atleast for me) i would stay away.

 

Look at my specs in the description. it is soo low end and has already good stock cooling that i would liquid cool only the cpu.
