Custom loop and keeping costs down don’t go hand in hand.
Don’t tie yourself to a rad size just because of the fans you currently have. You don’t have a lot of space so need to get a good rad in the front.
adding the cpu is like another £80 plus £20 for fittings so makes sense to do.
Also...
What about a 240 up top? I’d also ditch the aio and put the cpu in the loop as well. Cooling the cpu is very easy and then you share all the rad space.
Corsair pump comes with extras like a temp sensor.
I’ve put the ek block on mine and it wasn’t hard but it wasn’t simple. The Corsair block is lot easier to put on as all pads are already on the block and paste.
I’ve you are in the Corsair eco system then you can sync up the rgb.
Just want to say thanks for all the info and temps in this thread. I’ve got fe with an ek block and getting about 52c and 70c for mem. Before the block my mem was hitting 100c in cyber punk so going on water made a big change.
Not sure if my block is making the best contact as I feel the...
yep a pain to fill, maybe you could use a port on that top rad to fill if you have ports on both sides? Also the only way you could make sure it is fully filled.
I’ve always put my cards on water for lower temps and to get that little bit more on the gpu clock, do you need to do it no, but I enjoy little projects and that’s how I’ve now ended up with a duel loop system in a Corsair 1000d….
Well the water block is turning up today. ordered it yesterday and paid for week day delivery and dpd have decided to deliver it on Sunday….
Shame they didn’t do the same with the 3090 I ordered on the recent Friday drop and made me wait Monday for the card.
And my 3090 got delivered this morning at 8;30 shame I had a full day of work…. It’s in now and very happy. Little bit of coil noise but bad at all, had worse cards for it.
Mine is going under water…. To buy a card with a block on it is 2400 on OC or an fe plus a block and take the chance for a big saving is a no brainier for me.
