i need help with water cooling im new to it all

[TheLastRebel]

i was goan do a gpu n cpu and the motherboard all stock clock maybe just the cpu oc to say 4.0 from 3.4

 

[NeverBackDown]

4770k at 4.4ish with a decent amount of volts would be a very good clock and motherboard will just add heat with no benefit but make use of it, if you like.

Are you going for a 290 or 290x with a waterblock? Or the 780ti or 780? 290 is cheaper than a 780 and 290x is same price as a 780ti with a waterblock.

 

[TheLastRebel]

i took ur advice and went with a i5 4670k and im gettin a 780 ti

 

[NeverBackDown]

4670k nice. Why a 780ti? Doesn't that push you over budget with the addition of the waterblock?

keep in mind im not gona be building at this pc untill income tax season and http://www.performance-pcs.com/cata...oduct_info&cPath=59_202_972&products_id=38687 is the rad im looking at since i can push and pull it no problem easy

 

[NeverBackDown]

You do realize this will give you less cooling than the RX360 version right? Push pull can also be done with it as well but push pull only takes away a 2C temp off the load. Push pull is not worth it in your case.

realy ill probly just get the one u linked then and should i get the copper block on the one u linked and those lil rubber fan rad thingys that are like gaskets

 

[NeverBackDown]

Copper block? I did not link a copper block? The XSPC Raystorm CPU block i linked but that comes with the kit and is one of the best on the market.

May i ask what rubber fan rad thingys you are referring too?

 

[TheLastRebel]

the link you gave me if u scroll to the bottom it gives u a option to get teh raystorm cpu block in a copper version for a more money and there these rubber cut outs that go between the fan and the rad that work as a gasekt between the rad and fan to help seal off the gap

 

[NeverBackDown]

Stick with the non copper version. No need for rubber cutouts or gaskets.

 

[TheLastRebel]

but in theory copper would be better performance so u think the kit will cool a gpu cpu sligly oc and a motherboard

 

[NeverBackDown]

It won't give better performance, it only changes the look. CPU does not directly have anything to do with how well the motherboard will cool; in other words the cpu block is not cooling off the motherboard.

 

[TheLastRebel]

ok the water block the kit comes with is like aluminum or nickle not copper

 

[NeverBackDown]

The baseplate(the part coming into contact with cpu) is made of copper on all versions. The inside is nickel if i remember correctly.

 

[TheLastRebel]

i think the upgrade version is copper on the inside as well

 

[NeverBackDown]

Not worth the money tbh. plus it looks ugly.

 

[TheLastRebel]

well then i think my total price for my build is around 2800 bucks and im just gona go in a push config on the rad or should i just go pull config pull config

 

[NeverBackDown]

For the top rad go with a pull config. Easier to clean and temps are the same as push.

 

[TheLastRebel]

do u think the top area has room to mount the rad with fans on it while being hidden

 

[NeverBackDown]

The area inside the case will fit the RX360 rad and the area under the grills will fit the fans.
