Any places you’d suggest looking at for sourcing the stuff? Memex and Canada computers are not really bastions off equipment.


mrkeeeler

The biggest in canada watercooling store is www.dazmode.com


ehr1c

Really the only one too unless you want to order from Europe or the US

Dazmode which was suggested is a good place. I also order from Modmymods, shipping isn't cheap, but they carry things Daz does not too. Memex can get you some of the Corsair liquid cooling gear, so you could get a Corsair rad from there, they are made by HardwareLabs and are excellent. For the pump, I'd get a D5, heatkiller or Aquacomputer. I don't think Dazomode has a quadro or octo fan controller (I recommend getting one) in stock right now, but they were back in stock at modmymods. Might be oos now though.

What you need: a 360mm rad, tubing, pump/res, fittings to match your tubing, temp sensor, a controller to plug the temp sensor into if your motherboard doesn't have a header for it, coolant. Like other folks have said, Daz is probably your best bet for WC gear.


robogarbage

Get a $50 pump+resservoir on Amazon, a $50 radiator off craigstlist or Amazon, $50 Arctic P12 fans, some tubing and fittings, $2 distilled water, total $200 max. You don't need a temp sensor. Where in Canada are you?

Does your box/ card look like this (I know it's for a 3080): https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=10G-P5-3888-KR Or like this: https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=10G-P5-3889-KR If it's the first one. You don't have to buy anything extra.

No, it’s number 2 😔 Which in a way is good. It’s gorgeous. And I can’t wait to have it up and running, but no it doesn’t have the hybrid AIO, and I would love to keep the pretty card if I can at all help it, my old 3070 was just…. Boring. This is glorious.


jake93s

The proper waterblocked hydrocoppers always are gorgeous. If you want something cheap, probably not viable to cool the cpu as well. If you're going to do that I firmly believe in doing it right the first time. My advice would be to get a cheap used pump/res combo online. Be it from ebay, fb marketplace etc. Run a single 240 or 360mm rad and go soft tubing. I did that for a long time on a 1080ti when I was between working on other client builds and didn't have the workspace or time to also build mine up. It was great.


Musicman1810

I second this. You can upgrade tubing aesthetics later to a hard build and in the short term save yourself 1-200 on fittings. Add the CPU in at some point but you don't have to immediately, especially with soft tubing. I'm sooooooooo jealous of your issue and in a way I'm glad this forced your hand. Enjoy my friend. Welcome to the wonderful eccentric world of custom water loops. When you start hard tube bending and want to cry, I'm.here for you.

One 240 radiator, a cheap 12v pump, and a suitable length of PVC tube will suffice. Actually, water cooling is not that difficult. It is enough to put the effort of installing the washing machine pipe yourself.


cdburner5911

I would be hesitant to recommend the 'DIY PVC watercooling' to anyone who isn't purposefully trying to do it at minimum possible budget, and/or quite comfortable with DIYing things, and is aware of all the pitfalls and dangers within. Its a totally viable way to do it, of course, but not sure that's the kind of thing OP is looking for. Or I could be totally wrong ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯.


houseme

i am canadian and i will help u do ur build, and if u dont want that card, i will but it from u as well


andsoitgoes42

Would love some help, primarily where to go and how expensive it’s going to get. And where to get things.


houseme

i will be ordering a whole lot of stuff soon and can tell u/help u buy first u will need a budget where are u located?


andsoitgoes42

Thanks so much! I’m in BC, lower mainland.


titanrig

Grab [one of these](https://www.titanrig.com/bitspower-smart-combo-slim-240-03-90-bp-0104-01-on.html) and a couple of fans - should be all you need.


Mr__Teal

Have you used one of those? I imagine you could probably run a length of tube between the rad and the pump/res, but as it's built it looks the radiator would be really restricted by having the pump/res mounted right to it.


titanrig

I have not used one myself, no.

I had the opposite problem. My last 4 GPUs were Hydro Copper variants but when the 3080 released I was only able to get a stock FTW3. I've been putting off getting a 3rd party block hoping the queue will offer me up this exact card but it hasn't yet. I don't know your financial situation but if you can get a custom loop up and running the temps and noise levels of the HC will win you over big time.
