Advice for basic GPU setup + maybe CPU

Hi, I bought a used 3080 and it sounds like a drone flying inside my pc... So I want to look into watercooling. I already found the right GPU block here: https://shop.alphacool.com/en/shop/...rtx-3080/3090-gamerock-with-backplate-pht-eol

My question is, what else do I need to get for a complete system? There are so many options! Are there any starter kits that work with this block? I'm not planning on overclocking so I don't need anything high performance.

And would it make sense to get a CPU block too? I have a Ryzen 5700X3D.

Hi, if you want a watercooling loop for gpu + cpu you will need to get the following parts:

CPU cooler, GPU cooler, 2x 360mm Radiators, Hoses (3 meters is best), fans, reservoir with pump, Connections (2 hose connections per component (angled or normal or 45 degree)), Liquid like our Tec Protect 2 and maybe some tools like our filling bottle to make the work easier or our leak testing tool to rule out the possibility of a leak. .

If you have any questions feel free to ask :D
