Custom Loop Cost

[Ephy]

What would a Custom Loop cost?

My Rig has a GTX 1080 and a 6800K;

How many Rads and what Brand would you advise?

Two 240mm rads would be ideal or a single 480mm rad would work as well. Cost for a good quality set of parts could range between $500 and $700. You could pick up a kit from EKWB that would cover most of the parts and then just grab a second radiator and a GPU block which should give you everything you need to get started.

Something like the EK-Kit P240 and then toss in another 240 rad and the GPU block would run you around $550

Haha, 1 240 mm would be sufficient but 360 optimal and 480 overkill and the loop would cost 450 with very good pump with 360 mm rad

There is NO such thing as overkill in a watercooling setup. You want lower fan speeds with great temps you add in more radiator space. Period. Yah a 240mm rad would work if you want fans spinning at high RPMs to move all the heat away.

Yea like @Lurick said, it won't be cheap. EKWB has a configurator on their website which is really helpful.

750-800US are most realistic

What case do you have? This will determine what rads you CAN fit, and you can then go from there. As mentioned, the more rads/fans you have the lower RPM you can run the fans, which means less noise... although that's fan dependent of course and will have diminishing returns if you have 12 fans lol!

This is the route I am going to cut down on cost myself. I just have to make sure everything is compatible with each other.

Depends on the case, a 360 isn't enough for me. May just be my parallel loop. $500 usd easy if you want quality parts and don't get the fancy fittings.

Id be more concerned with the overall setup. I don't like dumping all the hot air in the case and heating up all my components.

[airdeano]

for no voltage overclocking, the 360 radiator should be fine.

looking to do voltage overclocking, then a 360 and 240 or 2x 240.

kinda depends on case used to radiator support.

 

cpu block - $80

gpu block - $130

pump - $80

reservoir - $60

radiator(s) - $125

fittings - $wow

soft tubing - $25
