Watercooling Cpu + Gpu (later)

[Spitzhorneule]

Hi, I would like to buy my first AIO product and could need some tipps.
My goal is to start with cooling my cpu (intel 13700k) with the option to add my gpu to the cooling loop later.

Q1: what are the differences between starting with the Eisbaer 360 and buying individual parts like the Core 1 and matching tubing, radiator...

Q2: with gpu and cpu in one loop I will need another radiator, right? Also a second pump?

Many thanks in advance

Hi,

The difference is the difficult. A AIO is much easier to install and cheaper than a full custom loop, but with a custom loop you are more flexible and has better temperatures.

IF you need more radiator size is depending on your waste heat. A St30 360mm radiator can handle around 300-400W heat. So if you have a GPU from the RTX40xx Series, you should get a second radiator for a sufficient cooling. But then you will also need a stronger pump, since the pump in the EIsbaer would be to weak for a sufficient water flow.
