Hi guys,

I currently have the "Corsair Hydro H60 V2 High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler" and wanting to change the tubes to clear ones and having orange coolant. Im not sure what size tube I should go for?

Also if I can I would like to watercool my Graphics card too. I have the EVGA GTX 660ti FTW+ 3gb edition. :D
 
I have the NZXT Phantom (Full Tower). Is it possible on a £200 budget, if not I can raise it.


Also if someone can let me know the tubing size for the H60 V2 that would be brill

I'm abit confused, are you looking to still use your H60 and have a custom loop for the GPU?

If so then I would strongly recommend you sell the H60 and just get a CPU waterblock and add it to the custom loop.

Anyway if your case is the NZXT 820 then you should be able to fit a slim 120.3 rad in the roof and a thicker 120.2 in the floor.

I believe EK do a waterblock for your card, check here for compatibility:http://www.coolingconfigurator.com/step1_complist

I would estimate the cost to be over £200

Rads (if you decide to go for two, one might be enough depending on the CPU and if you plan on overclocking): ~ £100
GPU block: ~ £70
CPU block: ~£40
Res/Pump combo: ~£65
Tubing/fittings/coolant/fans ~£60

£335
