Water Cooling Parts List Check

[Vertikull]

Hey everyone. I am soon going to upgrade my pc to water cooling and I have compiled a parts list. Please tell, am I missing anything?

 

DISCLAIMER: I know a radiator isn't on this list. I already have a 3x120mm radiator lined up on Amazon. And my GPU Block is on a separate list.

well, you need fittings to connect the hose to the parts in your loop. other than that you are looking pretty good on this. maybe also a pump top to make it look a little better, and to make it compatible with G3/4 threads.

*1/4

 

 

Also the pump, CPU block, and reservoir are all crap.

OP needs to do more research on watercooling components and get a bigger budget.

Are the phanteks blocks bad?  Haven't heard anything negative or positive about them.

It's cheap, made in china stuff.

Get a proper waterblock that's been tested by thousands of people and is known to actually be good, like an EK supremacy evo.

This way your PC won't die from a leak.

Meh.  I'd take a heatkiller pro IV over a supremacy evo any day.  Thermal performance is better and the mounting system isn't a giant PITA

Probably going to youtube channels like singularitycomputers and jayztwocents and spending a few months learning about everything so that you don't kill your PC with a leak.

I would go with a heatkiller or xspc raystrom pro cpu block.I would skip both the bay res and pump for any cylinder res d5 pump combo you like.As far as the rad to run it can matter.Some of the cheaper rads you find are aluminum which is bad,You want copper or brass rad.And rad thickness can come in to play.What thickness rad will your case handle ?A thin rad under 40mm thickness you can run just fans on one side.A thicker rad like 60mm and thicker you need push pull which is fans on both sides and can take up a lot of room in a case.But like said look around youtube watch anything water cooling from people like jayztwocents.On this forum we have

You're up at ~200, but you have a better radiator coming in. Why not get some sort of kit, e.g. https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-kit-s360, and resell the radiator?
