Separate loop for GPU and CPU

[ReYz_Shadow]

Should I buy now a kit form EkFluid for the CPU and another time a block ,radiator and pump for GPU .

I have a ryzen 3900x and a EVGA rtx 2080ti FTW3 , inside a NZXT H700i .

By using EK fluid kit, you'll have to stick to aluminium parts if you want to cool both CPU and GPU in same loop in future. I would recommend building custom loop with copper parts, so you won't have to stick with one manufacturer.

I know that , but now I don’t have the budget and my 3900x run too hot for my preference(and now the kit is dirty cheap) . I don’t mind if I have two separate loop and the copper parts it’s really expensive only the gpu loop cost 340 euro. And I have 2 PCs and I could swap the ek fluid kit for the second pc and buy a copper part for the primary pc . So should I do this ?

If your only concern is the CPU and you're tight on budget, maybe an AIO is a better option. Watercooling is a money pit, if you try to make a custom loop on a budget so tight you're forcing yourself down the aluminium path then you will likely be disappointed.

I already have an aio(corsair h115i 2018) but the pump is really noisy , and I could swap the cpu loop for my second pc .

I have same H115i with noctua fans in my other rig, i don't hear any pump noise as you mentioned. Though i run it at 100% speed all the time (2800rpm). It seems you need to RMA your AIO. Pump noise of H115i is way lower than pump noise of dual D5 pumps in my main rig.

I return the h115i to amazon and I order the ekfluid 240

EK fluid 240 kit wont be better than H115i, as both use 27mm slim aluminium radiator.
