Hello

I plan to buy a Alphacool 11509 NexXxoS GPX
To fit my Rx580 Sapphire card.
And I plan to watercool my Ryzen 5 3600 as well, and maybe my nvme ssd too if needed.
All this will fit in a Thermaltake Core V21 case.
Do you have any advice or recommandation on the pump or anything else?
It will be my first custom watercooling.
Should I use one pump/radiator for both or one pump/radiator for each?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks

Best allround Pump is VPP755. I prefere myself the DDC310.

VPP755
+ Max Performance
+ You can controll the pump over PWM
+ From quit up to max power, everything is possible
+ You can get a lot of different Pump-Tops or reservoir-pump-top combinations
- Its a big pump

DDC310 (with metall bottom)
+ Quiet out of the package
+ Enough power for a loop with CPU, GPU and 2 radiators
+ Smaller than VPP755
- Its not easy to controll the pump

I prefere the DDC310 because its more a fire and forgett pump. I dont need to controll the pump.

Thanks for the tips!!
Should I use 2 radiators or 1 big is enough?
If 2, should I do tank gpu rad1 cpu rad2 tank? Or tank gpu cpu rad1 rad2 tank?
Thanks

With one GPU and CPU it makes not a big different how you connect everything. For the best results, put a radiator between CPU and GPU. Important is only the complete radiatorspace. Makes no different if you use for example 2x 240 mm or 1x 480mm . Choose what you want. I mean, it depends on your case what will fit.
