You seem to be under the mistaken impression that there are planners at TinyCo who give a damn AND have a clue . While I don ' t doubt there are some people there with an isolated clue or two , a liberal application of the cdn . comentriesiconsoriginal 000002851 cluebat . jpg across the board wouldn ' t go astray . <| sep |> You can still comment on removed posts . <| sep |> It really depends on alot of factors . I personally would suggest looking at the EK kits , they are great for the price and is a handy way to ease into custom watercooling . The ek kits use the same parts you would use if you were making your own loop , so if you start with just at cpu loop or gpu loop you can just buy a waterblock for what ever it is you want cooled and the appropriate fittings some extra tube and away you go . Different brand will vary in price for fittings but its not uncommon for the quality to match the price . You dont want to cheap out fitting and pump only to have them fail and cost you in hardware . To be honest it sounds like you have a lot to learn first . The more you know before you buy the better and cheaper it will be in the long term . Your loop can always grow , unlike pc hardware you shouldn ' t have to worry about parts becoming outdated . Its not like they reinvent the wheel every year like GPUs .
