Hi, this is my first time water cooling.
First PC build too By the way...

I have made a complete list of every single component that i will be using in my system. If I am missing anything, or something will not work, or will bottle neck something, please tell me.

Will I be needing any additional Fittings/Nozzles/Barbs(etc.)?

And also, please don't flame on the GPU block, I bought it a long time ago when I was a noob...


Another thing: My choice of what to buy is rather restricted since I live in Norway. However: I managed to find some sites that ship to my location. Sadly those don't include petra's tech shop

You don't need a T-line and a Rez. A T-line will be easier.

Use 5% automotive antifreeze and some Iodine ...save your money

You may want to look at Tygon R3603 tubing.

Fans?

To tell you the truth, I would not go with a flow meter. Most people that water cool have no need for them. When I first started water cooling, I was going to get one, but found out they can be pretty restrictive to a loop. I just look at my clear danger den 5.25" bay reservoir to see if the water is flowing nice (works really well).

this isnt a flame about your koolance blocks but a warning
if they are aluminum you DONT want them in you loop
AL+CU = corrosion
if you use them make sure they are all copper blocks

Make sure you get 3/8" to 1/2" barbs for your PA120.3. My build is on hold until later this week when I can get a set. When I received my rad I didn't look carefully enough and they had only sent me 1/2" barbs. You need a reducer or the type I mentioned above.

I wouldn't get a flow meter as it impedes flow.
Also for coils, I would get a couple packs of the koolance ones, as the plastic ones seem brittle and break after awhile.

Other than that, your setup is beautiful and yes, as the person above described, make sure you either get the EDDY or Bitspower G3/8 to 1/2" barbs, as they are G3/8 bspp threaded and not the smaller but more watercooled standard G1/4" bspp

Ok thanks, then I'm guessing my Bitspower res will do just fine?


Unfortunately newegg (which is my favorite site to this date) does not ship internationally... What a let-down when I had a full list ready to order. I had to go with some different parts on the tiger instead, but in the end, I'm happy with what I got.


I think they are copper actually. On the site it says it's made of copper and nickel: http://www.frozencpu.com/products/75...ID-398GX2.html
Correct me if I'm wrong (Because I'm kind of confused myself).


Oh, is it possible to make it in to an internal mount without modding???

Anyway I was originally thinking external... But how do I use the PA120.3?
I have no idea what additional parts I have to buy...
What kind of fans and how many?


Ok, I will be ruling the flow meter out
Gonna give those coils a try too.

Are these the ones you're talking about?:
Bitspower Chrome G3/8" Barb Fitting - 1/2" ID
*Added to list*

Anything else I need to know about?

I have now updated the list!
