Eh

#

Cheap

#

Should’ve gone for 6k

ocean flint
#

its easily more considering the original was with a 4070 which was abandoned after not even 3 months

#

because i decided to want a watercooled gpu as well

#

so i just bought a 4080

ember onyx
#

With that budget you could’ve gone for a 4090

#

I would think

ocean flint
#

i was thinking about it but i didnt want to buy a new PSU again

#

and my electricity bill wouldnt like it either

ember onyx
#

Ah

#

Looks good tho

small pilot
#

awesome build

#

How does someone spend 5000 and not get a 4090 at least.

#

😔

ocean flint
#

the 4090 is almost double the price of the 4080 over here

#
  • as previously mentioned electricity cost, new PSU, etc etc

#

The 4090 is overkill for 99.99% of games

I'll do it once I cleaned everything up

#

have to get rid of all the hundreds of packaging boxes

#

I’m considering a CPU only loop for my rig too tbh, what parts would you recommend? It’s in a hyte Y40 case rn

#

this is it

ocean flint
#

you dont really have the radiator space

#

unless youre willing to do an external radiator setup

#

if you want to do it anyway, dont do it like me and go all EKWB, instead, check out alphacool's radiators or hardware labs gtr/gtx/gts series

get a heatkiller block or a direct die block and delid your cpu

for fittings i would also recommend alphacool, barrow and bitspower are cheaper but some people say they cut their fingers on the fittings

for the liquid id go for mayhems XT liquids

and then its up to you whether you go hardtube or soft tube, go distro plate or pump/reseirvoir combo

#

and have a budget of $500 - $1000

#

👍

#

Thank you

blissful barn
#

ah but now there’d be no space for a distro plate/pump combo, I see

#

thank you

#

alphacool has some kind of mini distro plate or more like a resirvoir

#

it has a pump mount and is 120 x 120 iirc

#

you could mount it in the back

#

let me double check rq

#

or was it EK

#

alphacool it is

#

you could get clearance issues though

#

it’s fine, i’ll remove that fan if I have to

ocean flint
#

yeah in that case check what radiator thickness you can do without interfering with other components and then try using the flat reseirvoir mounted in the back

#

that could work

#

put a 58mm radiator on the side 😈

blissful barn
#

💀

ocean flint
#

i mean, it would be efficient

#

but fat as fuck if you do push pull

blissful barn
#

Also are fittings universal?

ocean flint
#

actually, dont use alphacool for fittings, their sizing is dogshit

#

unless you go 14mm hardtube

#

which is the most common i think

#

otherwise youll get some dumb sizes that are only compatible with their own tubes

blissful barn
#

👍

#

What about rads though? Are they at least universal or no

ocean flint
blissful barn
#

👍

#

What about the pump?

ocean flint
#

the flat reseirvoir i sent only supports D5 pumps

#

the preinstalled one will be fine if you do cpu only

blissful barn
#

👍

#

Thanks
