I have a asus rog z11 case with a i7-13700kf, a asus geforce rtx 4070 ti tuf, the i7 is water cooled with a AIO at the moment.
Would like a fool custom water loop in this Build but have never done any sort og custom water cooling i know i need a reservoir with a pump since im sure a custom reservoir for this case is pretty hard, dont know which pump reservoir i need for this kinda build, im tottaly open to tips hand specs
Thx

Hi,

for a full custom loop I can recommend following components for a sufficient and silent system.
2x https://shop.alphacool.com/shop/rad...l-nexxxos-st30-full-copper-360mm-radiator-v.2

For each components you will need 2 fittings. In this case you will need 10 fittings. If you will need straight or angled ones has to be check by yourself.


If you don´t have fans for the radiators, I would recommend following ones.
6x https://shop.alphacool.com/shop/lue...acool-rise-aurora-120-mm-luefter-120x120x25mm

Do you think a single 240 rad could do the job with both i7 and the rtx 4070? Or what would you recommend, thx so much for the help so far

You can cool it, but it will be anything but a silent system. Under load, you will have to turn the fans up.

Right now a have a intake fan on the bottom of the case, if a put a 120 rad and connect it too the 240 rad loop would that be a good idea since im removing the intake fan, i still have 2 140mm fans at the top for exhaust(cant put a rad on top dosent fit for the design sadly)

You'll have to try it out. However, I see completely different problems in this housing. Where should the reservoir go? Where the pump? The enclosure is tiny and a very poor choice for a DIY water cooling system. It will be a tricky task to get everything in there and to connect the hoses.

Have seen it done before, but with a smaller gpu and cpu im just wondering if the 120 plus the 240 is enough for the both not to overheat, im pretty sure i can make it work with pump and all that just dont know if it will cool enough

Should work. I have cooled 500W in a PC with one 360mm radaitor. Fans with 1200rpm, not silent but it was ok. But the case had a very good airflow. Temperatures of CPU and GPU was ok, not nice, but ok.
