It's an easier and cheaper way to get into making custom loops,

 

The kit itself looks good

for just a CPU loop it is meh. some questionable parts for future use and upgradability.

the pump is for single block use only. so if looking to better the loop with GPU(s) block(s)

that pump is not going to play well and will prolly expire. so if you are going to expand

your loop in the future, look to using the Laing D5 or DDC pump. still available in the

bayres, but will be a higher cost. if you will NEVER expand the loop and will only have a

radiator, CPU block, tubing and bayres, then that pump should be fine.

 

what are the specs of the build for water cooling?

have you read the two pinned topics in water cooling section?

Thanks, Yes i did, i have not calculated the total TDP yet but i saw what things are needed. Here in my country (somewhere in SE asia) its hard to get water cooling parts so im asking for your thoughts of this kit as this is the one that's easiest to obtain :)

although "calcing" TDP sounds like it needs to be done, but that is pretty much over-thinking the obvious.

 

you might consider that kit to be a H100i PLUS Edition.

 

basically, a thin radiator, mediocre pump, reservoir and tubing with an advanced cold plate.

will handle a pretty HOT overclock but needs 1200-1650 fans.

 

list build specs please?
