Hey Everyone
I havent built myself a pc in quite a long time but im thinking of starting with some watercooling in my build im currently speccing. I will only be custom loop cooling the gfx card as Im looking to get the nzxt z73 aio for the cpu.
Current spec to date:-
5950 with Kraken z73
corsair vengenace 3600
Aorus x570s Mobo
Be quiet Silent base 802
Be quiet PSU
Lian li Al120 fans(probably replace the kraken fans with them too and included system fans)
Now the GPU I havent really made a final decision on yet but it will either be AIO gfx card or possibly a gfx prepped for custom water loop. Depending on maybe cost and answers in this thread could sway it either way.
My question/s are:-
is just the gfx card open cooling a good idea or open wc both?
What parts would ppl recommend for the loop?
My current thinking is AIO gfx is simpler but cant replace fluid later on and a custom loop might be trickier to build but easier to maintain and maybe last longer?
My head is absolutely spinning from all the info Im reading about this and I think im more anxious than when I decided to do it lol.
I will more than likely use soft tubing as being my 1st custom loop but no idea what pump/reservoir/fittings etc I should be paying most attention too.
Thanks for any help or advice you give in advance it will be taken on board and hopefully help me make a final decision.
Thx FrostFox
