What do I need to water cool my PC?

[Barry White]

Hey fellas! I would like to know what components I need to have a full custom water cooling loop for my PC.

Specs:
CPU: Intel i5 6600K (Overclocked to 4.5 GHZ)
Motherboard: MSI Z170A GAMING M7 ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4-2400 Memory (x2, for Quad channel)
GPU: MSI Radeon R9 390 8GB Video Card (2-Way CrossFire)
Chassis: Phanteks Enthoo EVOLV ATX Mid Tower Case
PSU: EVGA 1000W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply

I would really appreciate it if anyone could recommend me the parts so that I could water cool my PC, as the R9 390 is the hottest card I've ever worked with.

Any help is appreciated.

You don't NEED to water cool anything. It is mostly a hobby and a marketing game.

Have you ever ran a R9 390 in CF? With each card running at 80 degrees under load, and 40 degrees at idle, it gets extremely hot in my room, so, I want to keep the cards cooler (which will give me more performance out of them), and my room cooler, and the best way I see around this problem is water cooling. (Plus it looks sexy to)

For a custom loop you're going to need the following.

• 
  Pump
  Reservoir
  Radiator
  Tubing
  Fluid
  CPU/GPU water blocks
  GPU backplates

You can buy these as a kit or individually if you want to create a specific look.

Your cards will not put out any less energy. Your room will not be any cooler. You need more Ventilation; because the ambient temperature rises the longer your system is on yes? And although you want to run cool your house is designed more to insulate heat, yes? Double glazing, cavity walls, roof insulation, yes? Since the heat from the PC ultimately dissipates in the environment you want to lower the ambient temperature in your room.

The law of conservation of energy says energy can't be created or destroyed but it can be transformed from one kind to another. Eventually it all winds up as radiant heat. So maybe if you spent more on air conditioning? You could chill the room to a level that you find tolerable. 15c is a good ballpark figure to keep a server farm going on; and modern pc's are as good as your central heating.

Finally, someone who answered the question, thank you for your time.

If anything your room will get hotter. All you are trying to do is move heat off your system faster with a water loop. You are moving the heat from one end of the loop to the other. The radiator still radiates all that energy into your room. If you don't ventilate how can your system get cooler if the ambient temp. is constantly rising?

you cannot be serious man! The ball was in! That guy with the peltier cooled reservoir on the sticky in the wc forum has got air conditioning in his office.

You want cooling right? imagine you are in the sahara where ambient is 45c plus? no cooler will do the least bit of good if you do not lower the ambient air temp.

If you are in antarctica? You don't even need a heatink probly. Environment is the most important factor in 'cooling'. Thus my reply was perfectly relevant.

'any help is appreciated' yeah well screw you too bud!

I'll get those 30 seconds of my life back, somehow!

I'll respond once more, I wanted the the list of parts to water cool my system, that's it, and you did not give the list of parts, there-for your answer did not answer my initial question.

Ventilation is a part of a water cooling system. An air conditioner. Because you have to dump the heat out put from the cpu to your water loop

where does the water loop dump the heat? in your room? And your room? where does it dump the heat? with double glazed windows cavity walls central heating and roof insulation?

So nor did the other guy.

Pearls before swine I'm telling ya.

At least the air con will also get rid of that funny smell.

Listen, buddy, I have air conditioning, my ambient temp is 75 degrees Farenheit, but, because both my cards run at 80 degrees celcius, it makes my room extremely hot, even though I have air conditioning. So, I researched, and researched, and found out that water cooling would lower the temps of my cards significantly, therefor making the system run cooler. And so I asked, "FOR THE PARTS FOR A WATER COOLING LOOP", and you, nor the other guy, GAVE ME THE PARTS, so your answers, didn't ANSWER THE INITIAL QUESTION. It's. Not. That. Hard.
