Hi all,
I'm about to add watercooling loop to my setup, and I'd like some professional opinions on the choices of the parts I'm about to buy. I'm going with the EKWB brand, and I think I've caught all the parts I need but you never know if you for got 1 key piece of equipment.
I'm sure I got the right hardware (the blocks, pump/res combo, rads) its more the fittings I'm bit anxious about. Do i have enough etc...
Main PC Hardware...
- be quiet! Dark Base Pro 900
- ASUS ROG Maximus X Hero
- Intel Core i7-8700K
- 32gb 3600 Corsair
- ASUS ROG Strix RTX 3080 010G
The Watercooled loop hardware...
Connectors
Then another q would be what would be the correct flow direction, I'm thinking CCW, as per the pics.
It leaves the gfx card -> res -> main radiator, so i theory the output of the toasty gfx beast should receive the maximum cooling, before going back into the loop.
Or should I set the loop in a CW direction, and the chilled liquid flows from the main rad -> pump/res -> gfx?
