So folks, I am looking at putting a full custom loop cooling in my computer. Just for the CPU and GPU.

I already have a H100i for my CPU, it is kind of broken ish since I traded AnalGrape and got ripped off. I don't know if it worth going to the loop or not.

Also, I was looking into the NZXT GPU water cooler as a cheaper option. Not sure if anyone has one or if they work that well.

I have an NZXT H440 as a case, and my computer is crammed in a small metal wall locker with a small fan pulling the heat out.
 
I have a ton of stuff left over from other builds; I might be able to help you out with some parts; whick cpu socket do you have? which radiators can fit in your case? Which type pump/res are you looking at?
 
Awesome. Not quite sure what I want lol. I haven' done too much research in this field, hence why I was considering the NZXT Kraken G10 for my GPU.

My CPU is LGA1150 and here are radiator specs.

Front - 2 x 140 or 3 x 120mm
Top - 2 x 140 or 3 x 120mm
Rear - 1 x 140/120mm
 
@sixer9682 also might be able to point you in some custom loop kits which have everything together. But if Balls is able to assist with misc pieces, I would go that route.
Link your case so we can have dimensions for possible radiators you can cram in there.
 
That case has room for a 360 rad up top and a 280 in front- so not a great deal of room, but enough. I've got an extra cpu waterblock for the 1150 motherboard, not sure about all the mounting material, but if not you can get that for like $10-12. I think I still have my orginal 360 radiator here too in the box. It's not a slim rad, so make sure how much space you have.

This radiator's 56mm thick, which is kind of chunky so add on 25mm for one row of fans and you're looking at needing 81mm of space right there from the top of your case.
Here's a link to his case. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146148
 
well you pretty much said what rads it can hold so......He would have to use a bay mounted(or external) res huh?

He could put a small one like the EK 150 on the bottom or even mount it up higher, but it looks like that'd be pretty tight so who know. A bay one might be easier to start with.
 
I think I am able to remove some of the bays.
 
You can, just undo the two thumb screws per slot and pull the tray out and you're done :)
 
Yeah true. So what do you guys think? Is it worth it? And what would it cost to get you guys old parts/the parts I need.
