Cheap watercooling loop spec req.

[Nickolp1974]

As tittle for a corsair 540 cooling just the cpu, 4770k.
Have bought one of the koolance single bay res as i think it will look the part with the case. Thinking that a 240 in the roof will do which will leave the front 3 fans to provide good airflow for the dual gpu's.

Would like white fluid.
I have done a loop before but spent quite a bit of money on that, so it kind of guarantees good performance at the lower end i'm not sure.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks

MM?

Btw, I'm a little gutted that your monsta extravaganza isn't going ahead

Me too, but need a new truck for work and i cant justify spending £4k+
Currently just want a nice system thats gonna last me a few years and too try and resist upgrading every couple of weeks.

Not much on the MM and tbh not sure what i'm looking for?

Fair do's. 4k+ is a bit nuts
I guess you need block/rad/pump/tubing/fittings really I'm sure you can spec those up considering your last build

Unless you're doing it mainly for looks, I'd suggest a good air cooler, if not a clc.

What's the particular issue?

Mainly pump, will this do? http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-103-EK&groupid=962&catid=2141&subcat=2142

And cpu block, will one of the cheaper ek ones be ok?? Ideally a plexi one

Still gonna be spending around £2.5k as i have to buy everything and just want too save a few quid where i can, got some bits coming tomorrow

Edit: dont want an air cooler and not keen on the clc's

For a cpu only loop with just a 240 rad, I don't see why that pump wouldn't be up to it. Longevity wise though... not sure.

Were you looking at the EK Supreme LTX block? If so, I don't see any issues there either tbh.

I'm not keen on clc's either, I only mentioned it out of fairness
