Hey everyone,
I was wondering which parts you recommend for water cooling a CPU with a custom loop. At this point in time the cost of buying water blocks for both of my graphics cards is too much, and i'm a little bit intimidated by water cooling over what i know how to do so far.
If i can build my own expandable system (with a proper copper radiator too) for a price that's AUD $180 or under that only covers the CPU (i assume this is block + radiator + pump + tubing + reservoir + fans for radiator?) it would be a fun little intro to doing a proper custom loop, but without the cost of buying extra water blocks, more radiators, larger reservoir etc.
It'd also feel more like "yeah, i made this" than an AIO cooler. So what parts do you reccomend? under 180 is a decent goal but if its like, HAS to stretch, i can possibly go up to $200~ max (at that point i'm a bit broke)
my case is currently the corsair 540
