The PCCG is almost exactly the same price as it is at EK's online store. I assume GamMods is only selling it slightly cheaper for pre-orders.

All you would need on top of it would be distilled water. Assuming all the parts are decent >.>

Knowing this industry, by the time the kit is available at gammods a better kit will be the same price but will no be arriving until the week after.

I'm trying to decide between the 2, one is $140-150 cheaper than the other, but cant seem to find any proper reviews on the EK h3o, it does look the goods!

would if i had spare moneys + basic watercooling loop maxes out a 2700k anyway hahaha

[Tangence]

Would it affect a loop much if I were to use right angle joints all over the shop instead of slight bends?

My plan is this: (you'll have to use your imagination in regard to the Z-axis)



It uses a Koolance RP-452X2 res and 2 PMP-450S pumps to give you an idea of where the tubing runs in respect to the z-axis. (loop 2 is on the pump closest to the open panel in the diagram)

I don't really want to use angle fittings between the cpu and mobo blocks but everywhere else i want the tubing to go in a straight line.

Cheers,

Judging from that pic you are going push/pull....

Push pull for that many fans is a fucking huge waste of money for a 2-5% increase in cooling power.
