first its not cheap. figure upwards of 1k and secondly only scorpio probably can help you with that. 99% of people build it themselves

Min is $1k USD to spend on a decent one.

And when I say $1k, all straight fittings. No angle fittings. Probably all EK products.

What you post, from the pic could easily hit more than 1k.

Nope, not worth the money unless you DIY. All these looks nice only..... If you want to take out board for RMA..... GOOD LUCK....

Sorry I beg your pardon?

This does not apply to flexible tubings over Acrylic tubings.

Flex tube you are able to rma your board easily.

All you need to do is to have space. Remove the CPU block and the GPU without the need to dismount the fittings or drain the liquid out.

EDIT: It is pretty much standard when you have an air cooling rig and you wanna rma lets say your board, you require to remove your gpu and cpu. Same concept.

Only then you can unscrew your board out.

The only difficult part is when you wanna remove your GPU.

This will be difficult as you are required to drain out the water and remove the fittings and gpu blocks.

Else it is fine.

Its not about parts in working condition.

If you suay, board fails after 6 months..... Then GG........

I also do open loop myself but I don't do those hard acrylic tubing one. Cause its simply way too difficult to remove. Not practical at all. Sure it looks nice but how often do you even look at the interior of your computer?

I am talking about the system in the picture. Cause its using hard tubing. Thats why I said no point. Just DIY with flexible tubing. Not as nice but works just as well.

He said something like the rig in the pic... Nvr sae must be exact... And i doubt he knows that it is hard acrylic tubing that that person had used.

Btw, wth is open loop system?? You keep pushing coolant thru and out from elsewhere constantly?? lol... Or you meant AIO???

Any way regardless.

Mod, don't just be discourage to do something an enthusiast may do.

It is something worthwhile doing, even if it is just flex tubings, it is nice. It is still nicer than any prefilled water cooling and any Air cooling out there.

Don't look at water cooling as a form of waste money. It is more of a experience, good or bad is up to oneself to decide at the end of the day.

Whether the components defects along the way, that's secondary. What is most important is the fact that the pc is nice to look at, something that you build for yourself, something unique, something for you to feel happy along the way. Not just greater performance, but also definitely a quieter rig.

scorpia quoted me roughly 1k.

I really like the hard acrylic tube. Bu then on the another hand I am afraid of taking out components to RMA.

If u really into diy wc....First, must be ready to spent, then learn to diy ..tats the fun part..dun get others to do for u.... ask around.. do tons of googling, watch utube...b4 deciding on wat parts u want...as for ur main concern on rma...no worries..few bros here already mentioned..make sure ur main components r ok b4 going wc...or go with QDC or ff bushing fittings for easy draining ...the fun is endless when comes to wc but it also drains ur wallet too....consider hard first!

Watercooling is considered closed loop la... water is circulating throughout your system, no more inputs or outputs le.. similar to aio.

open loop means u have 1 constant input and output. The same water will never circulate throughout ur system.
