    Spec me some water cooling!

    Hi Folks,

    Hope everyone is well!

    I've got an itch and my 290x is like a volcano waiting to errupt! I'm wanting to water cool my CPU and GPU below is a spec I've put together, could somebody please check it over and advise me if there are any alterations I need to make (I'm getting my GPU plate off of eBay).

    Is it worth going to a cheaper all in one kit that some websites offer?

    You'll want some 45/90 fittings, probably a 90 into the gpu, 45s between gpu and cpu then angles on the rad depending where you mount it. I'd also go for a D5 based pump setup if you want a tube rad, mostly because they fit nicely together. What case is it going in?

    I'll double check fittings before purchasing. I need to plan the layout a bit more.

    I haven't planned to spend loads I would like it to be fairly cheap, I'll look into the pump more.

    It's going into a Thermaltake V21.

    I'll look to add an extra rad in the future and I already have some fans for the rad I'm going to purchase.

    I would get a ddc pump with small res as a d5 mite not fit in the case as it bigger.

    Have a look on wcuk, candccentral.

    I would go for 10/13mm tubing
