if you only want to cool your cpu a costume loop is not worth it. Just get an H80 or smth like that.

Please don't do that, a watercooling loop is only worth it if it has more than 360mm of RAD space

if thats the case why would watercooling company bring a 120mm rad out?

They think you are going to pair it with some other RADs

[CoolBeans]

Get a H80i or a good air cooler

of course it'll support a CPU loop (H80/i and others have been doing it a long time)

but is it the best solution for cooling with total cost involved, amount of performance

gain over an AIO already produced, and shear need?

 

you've stacked a pretty good shopping list, but to be honest, might have 5°-8° better

than a mass-produced AIO with almost twice the cost.

 

usually, it is better to list your location, build specs, budget, and expectations for the

forum to help you in your water cooling quest.

I would replace that pump+res combo. The Laing D5 is much better than any "own brand" pump out there. It has a 5 year MTBF of non-stop usage.

 

You should also go for primochill LRT advanced tubing.
