New to Watercooling

[MaxPlaysGames]

Hey, not sure if this is the right place, but im new to watercooling, and would like to know, if these parts are of good quality.

 

Radiators: EK- Coolstream CE 420, EK-CoolStream XE 360

Pump: EK-XRES 140 Revo D5 PWM (incl. sleeved pump)

CPU Block: EK-Supremacy EVO Red

GPU Block/Backplate: EK-FC1080 GTX TI Strix - Nickel, EK- FC1080 GTX Ti Strix Backplate- Black

EK-FC Terminal DUAL Serial 3 Slot

EK-HD Tube 12/16mm 500mm (2 pcs) 

EK-HDC Fitting 16mm G1/4 Gold

EK CryoFuel Blood Red Concentrate 100mL

EK-ATX Bridge Plug (24pin)

EK-HD Tube D.I.Y. Kit 10/12mm

 

I heard EK is really good quality, but i want to be safe, you know better safe than sorry.

Also, these Tubes are Acrylic, if i switch them to PETG tubing, do i need to switch fittings too? And the Tube DIY Kit?

I heard, Acrylic is harder to deal with, and cracks easier, so i'd rather use PETG.

 

Also is it worth it to also cool my Motherboard VRMs? Crosshair VI, is that worth it?

Cooling your motherboard VRMs by liquid is really only very useful if you're overclocking quite a ways. JayzTwoCents is generally the guy to go to for all your watercooling lessons and stuff like that.

Only plan on maybe overclocking my 1700x to 3.9/4. Its running at 3.9 @ 1.37v right now, so dont think i need to cool it then.

yeah, you'd only have to watercool them if you were planning on upwards of 5Ghz or something lol

I dont have liquid nitrogen, or whatever is used for that.

Just gotta find out if the supremacy evo cools better or equal then.

Check your current vrm temperatures, if they are above 85c get the monoblock.  It will cool slightly better as it's specially designed for ryzen anyways.

It also contains a cpu waterblock, and it just costs a bit extra, so may aswell? 

Cant hurt can it?

Nope, especially if you want to keep that mobo around for a long time.

Alrighty, also getting rgb then, win win.
