But heck, I built my loop (with mainly Alphacool parts, except for the GPU block and fans from EK, the pump from Phobya and the fluid from Aquacomputer) for around 500-550€, including the GPU block. Not ARGB and with soft tubings, but still, it’s a complete (CPU+GPU) loop.
I've never built one with hard lines before. I would be a sucker and buy this kit.
Already been found out those XD5 pumps are half the L/m of a real D5 meaning totally useless for max cooling options.
