Question Need help with my Water-cooling Rig

[Z0R0]

Hello Guys,


So, I’m planning on building my Water-cooling rig. I've Put together some parts and I wanted to ask you if they really fit together or if there are some better alternatives.

First of all, my current specs:
Mainboard: ASRock Z370 Extreme4
GPU: Zotac RTX 2080Ti AMP! Edition (ZT-T20810D-10P)
CPU: i7 8700k

Is that enough?
PSU: https://bit.ly/2Erh4cB

My Parts I’m planning to buy:

Here I don’t know which one I should take. I would prefer the AC one but If anything goes wrong?
GPU Waterblock (EKWB has my card listed, AC one I checked the PCB-Layout):
EKWB: https://bit.ly/2GU3rGo
AC1: https://bit.ly/2tJPp1t
AC2: https://bit.ly/2EtMcb9

Case: https://bit.ly/2XyH2DN
Reservoir (2x): https://bit.ly/2IVRUsa
Reservoir Extensions: https://bit.ly/2SyGSIR
Temperature Meter (2x): https://bit.ly/2HbWO1I
LED Ring Reservoir (2x): https://bit.ly/2NAdAZe
Radiator (2x): https://bit.ly/2SCBeFp
Fittings (4x so 24 fittings): https://bit.ly/2VuOuhl
Hardtubes (2x): https://bit.ly/2EIX9Y1
Liquid Red: https://bit.ly/2SyNmY4
Liquid Orange: https://bit.ly/2IL136t
CPU Block: https://bit.ly/2tM9Pa3
CPU Block LEDs: https://bit.ly/2IL16PH
Fans (3x + 1 so 10 fans): https://bit.ly/2PHMXWx
Valve (2x): https://bit.ly/2EHr8iI
additional LEDs: https://bit.ly/2Et5IEM
CPU Paste: https://bit.ly/2ExlYHe

I hope I provided all the Information’s you need.

Thank you for your help

There is no need for two separate loops . You can add both gpu & cpu in 1 loop & save some money . For gpu waterblock you should get ekwb one they are the best when it comes to watercooling . Case is too big for what you need you should get Lian Li 011 Dynamic which is exclusively made for watercooling by Der8auer . Also you should get some extender fitting & plugs to make a drain port because drain valve can't fit without extender fitting .

A lot of 'you should' in this last statement. I don't think anyone here is in a place to tell anyone they 'should' do anything. Let's separate 'should' or 'must' from 'my ideal recommendation is...' because there are obvious differences between people, and brand loyalty has nothing to do with performance or budget goals.

Case size has no impact on anything here. This is preference.

You don't need to make a drain valve unless you want one. I never use one - I've watercooled for 17 years. If you know how to build a loop, you don't necessarily need a drain setup unless the build config and case make it necessary. If you do build a drain, it can be as simple as some PVC T-fittings, a simple plug and extra tubing. It doesn't have to be costly with 'special' fittings.

EKWB is very good, agreed. This doesn't necessarily make them the best because this is very subjective. Swiftech, Alphacool, XSPC, Aquacomputer and Bitspower are ALL VERY GOOD as well. You also are not required to have everything in your loop from the same company. You can mix an Alphacool radiator, EKWB GPU block and Swiftech CPU block in a build using Bitspower fittings.

I am currently running a 1070 and a R5 1600 both with slight over clocks with a xspc 360 cheap rad and temps are staying in the low 50's with long gaming sessions and low 40's normal usage. dual 480's is quite a bit of overkill although watercooling in general is over kill so you do you if you want to spend the $$$ on it.

I would recommend a single 360 if CPU and GPU would stay at stock clock speeds. If you plan to overclock either, you would probably want to go with 2x 240mm rads or a 240+360 if you really push OC's. But, a single 360 with some good fans will probably suit you well even with mild to moderate overclocking on the CPU.

2080Ti likely won't have much headroom for speed increase.
