Heyllo

I'm planing to watercool my system for the first time ever

So I may need some advice from all of you.

I have Rv03 case so I can mount 240rad in front of the case.

I was looking for parts from specialtech(TTL recommending this shop in his videos on YT).

And I choose some parts

- Phobya G-Changer 240mm Dual Radiator

- XSPC Rasa CPU Waterblock

- Phobya DC12-260 600LPH 12V Compact Pump

- Phobya Balancer 250 Reservoir Black Nickel

- Masterkleer 1/2" ID - 3/4" OD (13-19mm) 'Retail Box' 3.3m (10ft) Tubing : Clear

Change the Phobya DC12-260 600LPH 12V Compact Pump for a 400 or 800 not the 600 as the 600 cannot be cleaned.

Masterkleer - shit - do not use has to much plasticiser. Avoid like the plague. If your using with a XSPC Rasa ill give you two weeks before you start seeing build up and that has nothing to do with pre-mix.

So Phobya DC12-400 800LPH 12V Compact Pump its ok?Or you recommend something different?

Do I have to use any Biocide etc??

Also I made a plan of my watercooling setup.

What about those tubs:

Tygon R3603 1/2" ID - 3/4" OD (13-19mm) Tubing : Clear

 

[mayhem]

Tygon is shit as well. Its clouds and all so leaches.

Primo "shill" do good tubing.

If using a pre-mixed you don't need any additives.

All so why you getting a UV green dye and UV clear Blue pre-mix , if you wanting a Green pre-mix then either get UV green pre-mix or UV clear + UV Green dye.

 

[| raVen |]

Primochill PrimoFlex Pro LRT 1/2" ID - 3/4" OD (13-19mm) Tubing : Clear

This one good?

But I need Kill Coil?

Yeah my bad, I go for pre-mix UVclear+UVgreen dye.

All the rest stuff its good?Will you change anything??

Great Thanks!

 

[mayhem]

yeh the primoshill (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Primochill/136960116387865) tubing is good

The order of the loop looks fine except the res needs to be before the pump to make sure there is a constant supply of fluid.

Not sure if you planned it that way or res before pump as nothing to indicate flow direction but the pic makes it look like it goes pump > res > block > rad > pump.

Thanks Mayhem

No its goes Rez-Pump-Rad-Block-Rez

So do I need this kill coil?

Now everything looks ok for you guys?Or should I change something?

Thanks

If you are getting premix you don't need a kill coil the premix has biocide and everything else in it.

Not sure to be honest but I don't think you should keep it in the fridge (I could be wrong though) just in a draw or something should be ok.

 

[| raVen |]

Ok thanks

Do you know how long I can keep this premix?

Also please can you answer my last question?Thanks

 

[SieB]

I don't know how long you can keep the premix but i'd guess as long as it's unopened a couple of years.

Everything else looks fine to me but i'd wait to see if Mayhem has anything to add, he might pick up on something you have missed, he is the watercooling expert.

 

[| raVen |]

Ok Thanks Mate

I'll wait for Mayhem opinion

 

[mayhem]

Our pre mix is stated at 3 years from Date of it being made.

It must be kept in a cool dry place out of the way of any elements such as sun or extreme cold.

 

[| raVen |]

I'll keep it in wardrobe

Aslo because you are watercooling master, would you change anything in this setup, or its ok??

My profession is computer brake fix, repair, software, network engineer / contractor.

yes the wardrobe will do

. But if iw as you i wouldn't buy it till i need it then at least you getting fresh mixtures.

 

[| raVen |]

Anyway you know much more than me about water cooling(I don't know to much, but at least I know basic things

)

Sooo my build its overall ok?

I go for it in second part of september because now(tomorrow)Im ordering from scan.uk Asus 580Matrix and Asus VG236HE

So I need to save some money, not only for watercooling, also I want to buy some bitfenix cables and other things from specialtech
