i need help with water cooling im new to it all

[TheLastRebel]

ya iv looked at it but i dont like how the rads reservoir tank is

 

[NeverBackDown]

I do not see how you do not like it? It holds the fluid lol

 

[TheLastRebel]

well apparently my computer case can support a 400 mm rad and im gona run a stand alone resivor and my rams not gona be cooled just my mboard cpu n gpu

only reason im gona run mboard cooling is cause the mboard has the hook ups defualt for them so i wana utilize it

 

[NeverBackDown]

Either go AIO or Custom.

 

[TheLastRebel]

yup im going custom i fount a dual bay resivour with 2 pumps in it for 250 bucks

 

[NeverBackDown]

Which pump is it? If you can't post a link just show the hardware name.

 

[TheLastRebel]

swiftech d5

 

[NeverBackDown]

Now what exactly do you plan on cooling? Might be able to get away with a single d5

 

[TheLastRebel]

a single 780gtx ti the motherboard and the cpu

 

[NeverBackDown]

Have you looked into the 290x? Cheaper and with a waterblock it comes to the same price as a single 780ti without a waterblock.

Which CPU? 2011 or 1150? And good luck with the motherboard. Mixing metals is not something you should do.

 

[TheLastRebel]

i can get 2 d5 or 2 MCP655

4770k i7 1150

personaly im not a fan of radeons i perfer nvidia know any nvidia cards with factory waterblocks

and the motherboard comes from the factory with a waterblock allready on it

so what brands of say pump and res and rad should i go and fittings and tube

Again that waterblock is a cheapo one. Not something that should go inside a loop. I know it comes with it but does not mean it should be used.

4770k is a nice choice though if only gaming stick to a 4670k.

Might want to reconsider that nvidia preference, AMD is a much better choice these past 2 generations of cards. Don't need a factory OC unless it is the same price as a stock one, reason being is because your watercooling-- don't need the extra speed since your doing that yourself. Also because reference designs are 90% of the time the only ones you can watercool and OC cards sometimes use different PCBs.

Brand wise depends. For a pump it depends on what kind you want as many are a pump/res all in one. Rad wise my personal preference is Alphacool. The ST,XT,UT, or Monstaa.

 

[TheLastRebel]

i may get a amd card idk but i am getting a alpha cool ut white edition rad im gona look into a radeon

 

[NeverBackDown]

I highly recommend it. I am using a 7950 and had never had any problems. Nice pick on the white edition!

 

[TheLastRebel]

asus has a wacky radeon card that uses water/air to cool it ares2-6gd5 idk bout the ares but the hd7990-6gd5 is just sexy looking or i may get a 290

 

[NeverBackDown]

Better off with a 290. If i recall they are both about the same price? If so then a 7990 will perform better sometimes. 290 will be consistent and in the future can be upgraded to a 290 in crossfire giving far more performance than a 7990.

 

[TheLastRebel]

didnt think about that should i got xfx or asus with radeon iv allways went nvidia so idk what company makes better radeon ards

 

[NeverBackDown]

MSI,Asus, Gigabyte make cards for both teams. Asus tends to be the best overall. Go with the one of the three brands i mentioned. Other vendors sometimes use lower quality memory to get a slightly cheaper retail price.

For a GPU waterblock a koolance 290/290x is the only full sized one available. Also looks the sexiest.

 

[TheLastRebel]

you know after all the thinking i could just get a realy realy good air cooler for the cpu and not over clock anything and i should be fine on cooling with 9 fans at 95 cfm and 2 something static pressure

 

[NeverBackDown]

Seriously have to make up your mind. You've switched at least twice already. Making it difficult to help when i've already provided advice dude.
