Contemplating trying custom water cooling.

[lgxtragic]

For my next build I wanted to try to do a custom water cooled PC. I know compared to AIO the difference in performance isn't much but the look is what I'm going for.

I was wondering if you guys think it'd be a worth. I don't have any experience in this field so some tips would be appreciated.

If you cheap out you will have a bad time. You'll end up spending at least $500 for a quality build. Then on top of that it's a pain in the ass to swap components and to move the PC. It is fun to build though, and does offer a bit more performance compared to AIO.

Water-cooling systems are not cheap, and they are two types.

1. With soft tubes. Basically, cheaper and more easy to build according to your case. But it wont last that much compared to 2.

2. Hard tubes. More expensive and you have to manually build corners and things. Will last longer tho.

i would not say that theres a noticeable difference between soft and hardtubing in terms of how long it will last

I don't have any experience in this field so some tips would be appreciated

if you have 0 experience then id suggest going with soft tubing as bending the hard tubes will be a pain in the ass for your first build

Water cooling is not worth it man - not even all cars are water-cooled, so why should your PC be water cooled?

Thanks for your replies. From what I hear I should go with soft tubes and it's a pain in the ass. Good to know

water cooling is the best. try cheaper one. better than high end cooling

Will be costly. But aesthetics wise, it'll look awesome.

Getting a water cooling system have pros and cons but it really depends if you want it so badly. Well for my recommendation i'll say yes why not ofc if u can its a better experience its not that bad to try something new..
