Water cooling is fun. I've had an AIO in the past and now an EKWB L240 kit. Need to get a GPU block one of these days and add that in to the loop as well.

Custom water blocks are expensive. I think the one I need for my 1070 is around 140 shipped.

Yeah, the one for my MSI 1070 is that price not including the extra tubing and fittings. EK-FC1080 GTX TF6 :(

I've seen toy cars with a thicker radiator than that.


Just because a thing can be acquired cheap doesn't mean it should be. That's basically 60$ for something hardly better than a stock cooler. Total surface area on that is likely half of a hyper 212 at best, not to mention the garbage fan on it and non adjustable pump.

I ran an overclocked 2500k with one of these many years ago and it kept things cooler than a 212 at max load. :shrug:

Is the radiator thicker than that picture makes it look? The one there makes it look like a slim rad. And I double checked and I was thinking of the cryorig h7 when I was making the size comparison. I get those two mixed up.




Nonetheless, I wouldn't put a pump that only cost 60$ in any system I built so there's no way in hell I'd put in a pump that represented a fraction of that cost as part of a whole unit

Looks about like that in person. it's 27mm deep.
