Hey, I need some assistance with your Watercooling Loop.
Hey, I need some assistance with your Watercooling Loop.
Hey everyone, I'm putting together a custom watercooling loop and need assistance with the reservoir, pump, and fittings. Here are the details of the parts I have:
Blocks:
CPU: [link]
GPU: [link]
Soft Tubing: [link]
Radiators:
- 480mm: [link]
- 360mm: [link]
Fans:
- [Amazon link]
I'm aware the radiators should fit in my full-tower case, so let me know if you can help with the missing components. Thanks a lot!
The tube you mentioned is 10/16, these fittings are 12/16 – it’s clear they won’t fit.
I’m unsure how you arranged your loop; you’ll need at least 10 fittings for the list you shared.
You may want to consider:
* angle adapters

* splitters

* a drain port that aids in removing liquid from your loop.

In the final video you’ll see precisely how to handle the drain...
1. the fans you chose are bad for radiators. they are not static pressure optimized. the Noctua NF-F12 are much better option.
2. there is new (better ?) flex tubing from EK -

pick the sizr that you need.
3. CPU block - get the standard supremacy evo - it's identical, but comes with a lot of different mounting staff that may be useful in the future builds.
I like the D5 pumps - they are quieter and cooler.

i use a smaller version of this and it's awesome.
Would it be better to receive only the fittings that will fit into the tube you're getting?
yes, obtain compression fittings.
without fittings you cannot connect anything.
yes, please order the compression fittings.
you can't connect anything without them.

if i receive 16 of these, it should work fine?

I’m unsure how you arranged your loop; you’ll need at least ten fittings for the list you shared.
