part materials

[JacTech17]

so recently watched a video on tech tips about buying water cooling components for Aliexpress and was wondering what to get, so far I have a primochill soft tubing kit and an EKWB EK-CoolStream SE 360 (Slim Triple) High-Performance Radiator with  Copper fins and Brass Chambers link: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIAC8W4Z05965  I'm planning on getting a CPU water block and a reservoir and will probably get a d5 pump somewhere else later. so already picked out a reservoir it is acrylic and plastic, link:  https://www.aliexpress.com/item/-/32829526491.html?spm=a2g0s.13010208.99999999.259.6dd23c00m6yv3B

 

As for the CPU block, I was thinking about getting the  Barrow LTYK3A-04-V2 and I think its copper link: https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/Barrow-transparent-acrylic-CPU-waterblock-0-3MM-microcutting-micro-waterway-for-AMD-LTYK2A-03/431286_32710756337.html?spm=2114.12010612.8148356.8.a7417512r8JeTF but I'm not sure about the materials because I know you shouldn't mix certain one so wanted to know if this block is a good match with the radiator and the reservoir

yes it is copper. So in terms of that it will work.

BUT: Considder longevity... I have no expericence with this AliExpress stuff, I have a Alphacool +Ek Loop.

I am worried about the sealing on those china parts. Maybe they will fail sonner compared to a block from a nice barand....

same as the CPU block. I dont know much about longevity... and there is noone out there who tested this ;/

BUt i think you should look up cragislist or ebay for some used parts from nice brads. At least here in Germany you can save ~50% on used parts. Given them a nice clean and of you go

Barrow is not bad for watercooling components they are more common in the asian market. I would sugges to go with a barrow res and CPU block if your looking for something different. 

 

That waterblock you have selected is copper based just nickel plated from visual inspection.
