Spec me a loop

[uksoldierboy]

Hiya guys,

After ordering my 290X today i've decided that for noise and cooling performance, i'm best off water cooling the lot.

I''ve done it before last year on a previous build but that was only the cpu, for which i used a slightly modified version of the Ocuk V6 kit.

Worked great and had no problems during in the install, just took my time.

Could i get some help in putting a loop together for my new system, is there a kit that i could buy that would do it, or would i need to order the lot separate?

I'd like to keep cost down to as low as possible really.

My system as it stands now is:

Asus Maximus Hero VI
I7 4770K @4.6 cooled by a H100
Asus R9 290X
Case i'm using is a BitFenix Ronin.

Any advice or info would be great.

Thanks guys,

David

Cheers for the info and advice guys,

Got a lot to think about it seems, My initial idea was to use a 240 rad in to top of the case, and a 120 rad on the back.

The h100 I'm using now is doing a sterling job of keeping the cpu cool tbh.

Max temps I see while gaming is 65c, but if I was to use watercooling, I'd much rather put the lot under water.

Would a 240 up top and a 120 on the back not be enough you think?

Ah damn it,

The cost of a full loop for both the cpu and gpu is a just too much for me at the moment, especially after buying this 290X.

Would it be alright to just keep using my H100, and get a loop together for the 290X, i'll upgrade to include the cpu then after Christmas.
