I have the option to buy a second hand custom loop but am unsure what it is worth.

 

Items:

- 1x EK Supremacy evo nickel - plexi CPU block
1x 360mm radiator 
1x 140mm radiator
1x 120mm radiator
1x ek dcp 4.0 pump
1,9L ekoolant blood red
1x reservoir 150mm x3 
1x ball valve
1x T piece

A bunch of different fittings

1m new flex tube

Anti kink coil.

 

Is it worth, or shouldn't I bother with it?

Asking price is around €120 (140usd)

 

Thx

The radiators alone are worth a lot more and you should be able to reuse them if you flush them out properly.

But then again, I wouldn't really trust used watercooling components.

Unless inspected in person for clogging, growth and corrosion. The tube is likely worthless unless it's good quality and purpose selected. Most home depot tubing is junk once chemicals and colors are added. At that point, if in near new condition and the pump isn't making any odd noises, 50% of retail if current, 50% of original msrp if last gen, anything older and start dragging off money for outdated designs. Somethings just work, of course, like my virtually ancient Thermalright waterblock. I've had to make custom mounts for the last two CPUs it's been on, but the top plate is designed to make that very easy, the o-ring design makes it easy to maintain and the base size almost is big enough for threadripper, lol. But I too advise caution on used watercoooling components. If something isn't right and you don't catch it, it could cost you the entire system.
