Hey guys. So I read the very helpful sticky for beginners and am really wanting to venture into water cooling for some cool reasons...
Seriously, I just really wanna try it and am really liking the challenge etc. Also, I used to be a gaming laptop (I know, i know) enthusiasts for years and just sold it and assembled my PC. Its just really hard to keep myself from adding and adding more into it.
My current setup's main component is:
CPU: i7 4790K
GPU: XFX R9 295X2
PSU: 1000W EVGA G2 Supernova
RAM: 16GB
MB: MSI Z97-G45 Gaming
Few initial (dumb) questions:
My intention is really to have 2 to 3 blocks (CPU, GPU and chipset) but just curious about different options. I dont wanna make this any longer than this so thanks in advance and sorry for long 1st post

- I am currently identifying what types of parts and brands should I get depending on what you guys will recommend based on dependability and of course budget.
- Once parts are identified, I'm putting all these into a spreadsheet to see how much it's going to cost me.
- Then decisions and ordering
- Then here comes the actual work which will surely result to hundreds of questions from me hoping for some help from the community
Few initial (dumb) questions:
- GPU is already stock watercooled but is it also possible to include it in the loop using the stock block assembly? Like just connecting the in-out stub-outs to the tubes along the loop?
- Is it necessary to include the chipset in the loop?
- Is it not worth it just cooling the CPU?
