water cooling help
hey guys, need some assistance with water cooling setup. I plan to start with the CPU and save the GPU later. I bought the Ek Waterblock for CPU 250 RPM and was considering this pump from Scan. I’m not sure what sizes to choose or what tubing to use—though I thought maybe 2 360mm when the GPU is installed, but right now I’m just thinking about 1 360mm. I’m really unsure about the right size tubing since there are so many options.

Choose a size that matches the connectors. Measure carefully and then select one with the same diameter.
What do you mean connector? Are you referring to the fittings? If so, I haven’t ordered any yet.
Yes, everything needs to fit snugly together; it would have been simpler to go with a h60 since it already has all the necessary parts inside.
They are asking about the size needed for connectors and whether they should match the existing diameter. They also mention having a closed loop but are unsure which tubing to choose.

Yes, everything needs to fit tightly; it would have been simpler to choose a H60 since it already has everything you need inside.
We already have a closed loop, but we want a custom one—just no idea which tubing to pick.
Get rubber tubing

Yes, it all needs to connect tightly; it would have been easier to choose a h60 since it has everything you need already inside.

Consider getting rubber tubing.
Yes, but there are many different sizes like 10/13.
I’m not sure what size to choose.
