1.) http://www.frozencpu.com/products/12...Kill_Coil.html

This tubing will ensure that the seal from barb to tubing is water tight. been using it in my sig for weeks not a problem. also UV reactive
7/16" tubing on a 1/2" barb = GOLD (slight pain to get on but spit does the trick!)

any tips and tricks?
I'm new to this and I'll be hitting the purchase button in 20minutes..

well it is very straight forward. here is what i did:

1. draw it out
2. lay parts out on table in orientation that i drew to see it before it goes in test.
3. TAKE YOUR TIME!!
4. refer to this guide which has everything under the sun + alot of other links and videos.

5. Filling the loop takes time. dont rush it and spill!
6. test the loop with system turned off and all components to computer unplugged by jumping the PSU. easy to google if you dont know how to.
7. bubbles will go away within a week along with the water level so make sure to watch it the first week and refill.
8. dont run the pump without water! damage will follow lol
9. enjoy your new WC loop

(make tubing from and to the res long enough so that you can pull the res out to drain or fill

)

be sure to get 1/2" barbs..

Don't forget to flush your rad with distilled water!

completely optional. with a brand like XSPC i wouldnt worry about it. i flushed 2 of mine and no debris when i drained. they come very clean.

but hey never hurts to if you have the time. just trying to make it easy

Your lucky. All my XSPC RX rads had all sorts of crap in it

frozencpu doesn't have the 360 kit in stock.

 

[Yokes29]

In stock in SidewinderComputers?
http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/xsra750rswak1.html

If you buy here, you have to get the Kill Coil separately.

 

[tommy209]

This site has it! i order all my WC parts here.

what's the difference between the rs and rx kit?
I've heard one is thicker than the other but performance wise..does it make a difference?

 

[Thecityskies]

which one would be more future roof...
which one would be more better in the long run...or which one is bang for the buck?

 

[Yokes29]

If you have space go for the RX360. Everyone seems to like these Rads here. I've owned many of them. They work great. If your willing to pay a little extra then go for the rx360.
Heck: some people use a single RX360 to cool their CPU and dual GPU's. So if you feel like adding a GPU to the loop you should be ok.

 

[shineon2011]

Yes RX has a thicker rad and will cool better, spend the money.

Thank you very much!

(walang anuman!) Good Luck!

yea the rx has more fin area which translates into more cooling power. thing is a monster though
