Going water need help

401 Views 9 Replies 6 Participants Last post by  Dar_T
Hello all.

I am going to watercool my cpu soon to see if i can coax another couple mhz out of it and keep my cpu cool over the summer.

I am going to be using zip ties for clamps on the tubing.

How does the list below look?

Everything looks good but why use uv coolant in uv tubing? Distilled + pt nuke is good enough imo.Your list is also missing fans. I think Jabtech has better pricing than Performance PCs.

good point for the final order i will probably get clear tubing.
Also i dont want to use pt nuke and distilled because i will have to mix it myself and I am very clumsy and would probably spill it everywhere.

Don't get it - you have a kick ass system but you want to skimp and use zip ties to clamp the cables? Why not just spend a few extra bucks on getting some decent worm-drive clips?

Also you probably don't need a dual bay reservoir - a single 5.25" bay is fine.

Might not have much money left after building a rig like that lol

Zip ties are great, inexpensive ways to tighten down tubing albeit its not reusable but you can get a pack of 100 for less than 5 bucks. From what I've heard a single bay res makes lots of bubbles while because a dual is deeper it doesn't. I could be wrong though.

Get rid of that Feser tubing, and get some Masterkleer instead. It is a lot cheaper. Also, get a couple Scythe-S Flex fans for the rad.

The EK Supreme block is really restrictive, so if you plan on adding a GPU or NB to the loop then get the Apogee GTZ, but otherwise that build looks solid.

zip ties are fine if you are using the correct size tubing, and barbs.
