First Custom Loop

[AaronPurdy4]

I am wanting to do my first custom water cooling loop, and I'm just looking for information on components, and putting it all together.

I was thinking I'm probably going to use soft tubing because its my first custom loop.

Check out Jayztwocents on YouTube, he has some good videos for beginners.

 

As to what components you need, the EKWB Configurator is an excellent place to start. I would agree soft tubing for your first loop is a good way to go.

 

As a side-note, be realistic about the costs before you go down this road. Watercooling is not cheap, and there is no argument for it being a good value cooling solution. It's really for enthusiasts, and while it will net you the best temps and lowest noise levels (if done correctly), there is never a NEED for it. You may know all that, but thought I'd mention just in case. Good luck!

There's also useful guides pinned to the top of this board, so take a look in there sometime and familiarize yourself with some of the basics of water cooling before you consider diving in.

I did my first custom loop about 4 months ago, after about 3 months of researching and studying. couldn't find some of the parts in the EKWB configurator(like my chassis, cuz i typed the name wrong) so I asked them for help and they showed me all the parts. ordered everything, received ecerything. setup =  3hrs + vodka + manuals = complete loop. vodka was for me, not for the loop.
