MacGyver AIO complete cpu/gpu loop?

[GauntletV2]

So I've had it in my head for a while to fully watercool my computer (Ncase M1), but I dont want to go through the process of buying a full custom loop setup.  Tell me if this makes any sense:

-http://www.raijintek.com/en/products_detail.php?ProductID=43 This is the base. 

-https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-fc-r9-nano-nickel And obviously the gpu block.

-Fittings, tubing, and coolant

 

Really, I get it, I should just do a custom loop, but humor me, does this work? Is the pump in the AIO enough to expand to a full loop?  Any other issues you could see arising?

looks like the fittings and tubes are different sizes

 

i would get an ek predator/other box kit and just add a gpu block to that

I don't recommend to use those units as the radiators are aluminum they will leave you with a mixed metal loop and can cause issues with galvanic corrosion which you want to avoid as much as possible even though you can get mixed metal fluids. 

 

You would be better off looking into getting a starter kit and adding in a GPU block to that or something like the Swiftech units and expanding those.

MacGuyvering a custom loop set-up rarely ends up with a happy ending, and regardless, you are introducing far more risk in to the equation which could, worst case scenario, end up causing serious damage to your components. It's just not worth it unless you can afford for this to happen... in which case I support any endeavour. If not though, there are far better ways to go about this as W-L suggests.

I didn't even think of that, thank you.
