Hi Tomshardwaremaniacs!
I will start watercooling with my new computer, and i want to start with the basic things but I want them to be good quality to keep them using when next upgrades/computers. By now ii will run cpu stock but im planing to OC it 1.25 or 1.30V or all i can go keeping CPU under 70C at full load wich is agood amount of watts (thats the reason why im going into custom watercooling insteead of an Corsair H110)
Radiator will be with 3x coolermaster at 1200rpm pushing fans and 2x nzxt 200mm at 800 rpm pulling in the top of the case. (as i looked for example, the difference performance vs price of the EK XTX over the XT is really poor, increasing a 35-40% price gaining just 10% performance.
Coolgate 360 HD also looks a good choice in the same price as EK XT
Also my motherboard ASUS Maximus vi Formula has VRM ready for watercooling. Will worth include it in the loop? Secuntial or parallel with the cpu and in the future with the VGA?
I will do a single loop over the cpu and place flush port. Maybe later i will include VGA (R9 290X) and if neede add another radiator 140mm single or double (any trouble mixing 140 and 120 mm radiators?
About the waterblock, it is not top notch but i see that it has good perfomance and its really cheap compared with other options.
I had some 1/2 tubing with an aceptable quality and new so i will use it and se if need better tubing
If im wright the fittings are pressure proof (those ones that has a piece that must be screwed around the tube)
This is the list of components
Suggestions, is it OK?
Worths the price?
Thanks you all!
