[kenokid]

I'm building my first custom pc and wondering if i should go with a AIO cooler or a custom water cooling loop.

If your on a budget go with an AiO for sure, otherwise go for it if your up for the challenge (though it's not that difficult), though I'd only go custom loop if you intend to water cool your gpu as well or plan on adding it to the loop later.

I would just go with an aio it is quicker. The custom loops take a while to build and research especially your first one.

If you wanna go the custom loop route look into Jayz2cents video about the EK online configuator. Its pretty pricy but if you want to make sure everything will be ok its great.

depends on how much maintenance your looking to deal with, the aesthetics your looking for and most importantly the budget you have to deal with.

Thanks! I think i will go with an AIO because I dont wanna screw up my first build

I wouldn't bother with AIO unless you case literally can't handle a good tower cooler

If it's your first ever build and you are on a budget than AIO for sure. Two reasons being a) an AIO setup costs far less, and b) custom loops aren't easy necessarily, and if you have never built before it could be a little frustrating or hard. I've built over 6 computers from scratch and have repaired over 10 computers in the past 2 years, and I'm only about to do my first custom loop this summer. I did help a friend for part of his custom loop setup though, because he was having difficulties and thought I'd be better to fix it than him. If you know what you're doing though and like it, it can be a lot of fun.
