Custom watercooling GOES WRONG?

[Filipe Mata]

Hi there, I want to get a costum watercooling setup, for the Fractal Design Define S, I will be painting a few parts of the case with white paint.
This year during black friday I will buy my new PC and run the stock cooler of the FX-4350 for 1 year, than again in black friday I will buy my custom watercool setup.

But I have a few problems, never did a costum watercool setup and I don't really now what to buy, not sure how it builds but a few videos it will be no problem. But I want to know if I have everything needed and if it will fit, and how it will fit, where the radiator, pump, reservoir go... I will leave to links from my costum watercool setups. I need so advises. If you can't see the links tell me. Thank you

You are planning to custom water cool a 4350?

It's mainly for good looks, but overclocking a FX-4xxx don't see any problem

Its a waste of money. The 4350 will bottleneck any modern graphics card past the midrange, and no amount of overclocking will change that.
For the cost of a custom loop, you could pick up and i5, a nice motherboard, and throw some more at a GPU (or get an H240-X)

Just pick your awnser as a solution, can I cancel it?

I already have a 970 and i5

The 4350 will be used with r9 280crossfire, i am doing a case mod for the Fractal Design Define S. I have the money don't worry about it.

Post your complete build in detail.

Gamer is right though. Its incongruous doing custom water cooling on an entry level PC. And a 4350 will bottleneck 2 x 280s.

Agreed. Sure it will look good, but some of it's beauty will be torn away because of the parts you have in it. Just as if you had a really nice Lamborghini with a 140hp Honda Civic engine inside it.

For what you have, I would wait till I could upgrade it before even thinking about spending money on custom cooling.

Get stuff that will work with the PSU - 2 x 980Tis in an X99 build.

How about 980Ti 2-way SLI and i7-4xxx (can´t remenber the i7 right now), with this watercool build? I already said I have the money. Gladly ^^

I just wanted to do that mid-range build for fun, I like building lots of PC's all sell them to my friends a bit cheaper. I usually lose about 100€ when I do this. Just never did a watercooling system and if went wrong didn´t want to fuck the components
