Hi All,

Upon the launch of the new AMD CPU's later this year i am intending on doing a new build, which will be my first custome water cooled build.

The Motherboard will be ATX.

Originally i was going to go with the NZXT h500 as the case, but am changing it for the Phanteks Enthoo Evolv X as it seems to have more space.

For now, i am wanting to only water cool the CPU, however, i am intending on getting a 2080 TI which i would want to add into the loop at some point (i will be changing my SLI 1080 ti's for it).

I have read a lot of articles, and forum posts but thought it would be best to get the advice from the experts (you guys). So far for the water cooling i think i need:


My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £474.93 (includes shipping: £11.10)​
​
 
Do you plan on using the fans that come with the case, or replacing them? Your basket has 3 x 140mm fans but only a single 280mm radiator.....the 360mm radiator will need 3 x 120mm fans but there's no listing in your basket. The fan you have in the list is decent though.
I would also recommend fittings for a drain port, as it will save hassle later-on when you need to drain the loop.
 
Thanks for the response.

Ah sorry, those 3 x 140mm fans in my basket should be 3 x 120mm for the 360 radiator.

Then i was going to use 2 of the fans that came with the case for the other.
 
I would go with a D5 pump over a DDC. They are generally more reliable and certainly run quieter. Is there a reason you've gone with that res? You will be able to fit something bigger in the Evolv X. I'd look at the EK-XRES pump/res combos.
