Need a little help

I'm doing my first custom water cooling system, but I cannot find a LGA 1151 water block. I found just about every other block for about $40, can someone please recommend a cheap water block and where to buy it from?

Also being my first time, maybe a little advice too. I learned some basic knowledge about water cooling as far as performance and what parts I need, but have no idea about flow, or what order the parts need to be in.

Thanks, looking forward to hear back soon.

I dont know about that. Maybe a LGA 1151 would work on a LGA 1150.

No no you are right, a LGA 1150 waterblock would work on a LGA 1150

Intel has used the same mounting setup for quite a long time now.

I would suggest if your just starting out to get one of the EKWB kits like the P360 if your doing a full loop with a CPU and GPU with overclocking, they're a great base to build off of for the future.
