First pc build

[apaar123]

Hey guys, I am about to build my first gaming Pc and I want to go with liquid cooling because it looks cool and also is very effective. I just want to know that is it too tough or risky to do it. Can you give me some advice. Thank you

depends, for a first pc i would get a aio nothing custom.

 price range? (water cooling budget)

country?

parts?

Well, it's tough. If this is your FIRST build, you should start out with air cooling. Unless you are talking about liquid cooling as in a radiator and 2 tubes. There is custom water cooling loops and liquid cooling. Which one are you referring to? Loops are extremely hard to do and I would suggest making an air or liquid cooled PC first. I watched a youtuber go through the struggles of liquid water loop cooling (his first time) and that was his JOB. It took him much longer and a lot more effort. It also costs MUCH more. The only reason you would need it is if you are a quiet freak or you're running EXTREME games or programs on there. It's not worth it.

Yes. You could. You would need a lot of parts and resources though. Be prepared for mess ups so always buy extra tubing. I've never done it.

I really don't recommend going the custom route for a first time builder. Building one for your first time can already have issues, and custom water cooling is miles harder. Getting aios would be a much simpler option.

 

Theres so much that needs to be done, including maintenance.
