As the thread title - I'm considering watercooling my MSI 390X, as I can no longer stand the noise it makes at full load!
So far I've only chosen the block and backplate:
Block: EK-FC R9-390X TF5 - Nickel
Backplate: EK-FC R9-390X TF5 Backplate - Black
I'd very much appreciate help regarding the rest of the components for the loop. I haven't done custom watercooling before, so I'm unsure what to go for.
One requirement is for the quietest possible pump - I want this to be as silent as possible. I'm assuming a variable speed pump would be best.
As for radiator space, I can fit 280mm rads in my case.
I'd prefer clear tubing, not fussed about the fittings/connectors, also unsure whether to go for quick disconnect fittings or not.
Note that I don't intend to overclock my card to the maximum - I'll most likely leave it at it's factory overclock settings, as I'm currently happy with it's performance, just can't stand the noise it makes!
Still debating whether to watercool my CPU at the same time - I currently have a Noctua HSF fitted which cools my 6700k extremely well and is very quiet, though it will look rather odd with only the GPU being watercooled, hmm!
Many thanks.
