it just does. I think it has to do with the thicker walls of the tubing. I went with the 3/8 ID by 5/8 OD tubing.

Went online and found a picture I thought would look like a frost phoenix and then went to zazzle.com and had them make a 1.5 inch round sticker with that logo to use on the back of the Bitfenix fans.


Will have to use this Idea. Rig looks great, the 280 Rad looks @ Home.....

Can you post links to your water cooling components?

I am new and looking basically for a similar lay out. Minus, having a black case with a blue theme to match my Mobo and Ram.


Also what was your overall cost for WC set up?

I got almost all of my watercooling components from performance pcs. As for the cost, I'm not really sure. I have bought so many parts since I started and have sold some of the ones I didn't need. If I had to guess I would say around 500.00.

Whoa 2k on just water cooling....

Ok might be a bit for that. I am wanting to go water cooling, but for now just looking for something I can have as a good solid base with just CPU cooling for a start.

Depending on what you get it can definitely get up there. You can easily do a GPU+CPU loop with $500. If you go used it would be even cheaper. I think if you put together a Raystorm RX360 kit for $300 with a $100 GPU block and you also have a full loop. That's with compression fittings, a great CPU block, and a very solid pump.

Sorry to steal, but something like this for $330 would be fine? Looks like I would have everything I need for my initial set up? I am wondering about using blue UV tubing with blue UV fluid though. Waste of money as the blue tubing would make regular fluid look blue?

You should just make your own thread next time but yes. That is pretty much the best kit you can get. If you want to add a GPU to the loop all you need is the GPU block and two more fittings. Also I would recommend getting three more fans so that radiator has push pull fans on it. That should help keep your temps down some more.
