New to liquid cooling - What do I need to know?

Urzu1000 · May 28, 2017

Hello folks,

I'm toying with the idea of finally replacing my desktop that I built back in 2011 and building myself a new dream machine. This time, I would really like to go for liquid cooling so that I can overclock my components more easily.

Could you good people here in the overclocking section of the forum point me to some good sources of information? My main goals are for the machine to be silent, so I'm thinking dual pumps, but I really don't know much about liquid cooling. Any advice or input is welcome!

If your thinking about Ryzen 8 core build water cooling is overkill. A decent $50 air cooler can get you to the max safe voltage and around 4Ghz. The Thread Ripper 10~16 core Ryzens yet released could take advantage of highend water coolers. Also Intel is expected to launch the x299 soon with the 7740k and skylake-x 6~12 cores. Point is these coolers may need a compatible bracket to work with Intels x299 and AMD's X399.

once you have a system spec in mind, post it here. It will be easier to suggest how to achieve your goals.
other helpful information is your room temperature.
