My first WC rig

Have thought about buying quick-disconnects? It will be way easier to disassemble the loop.

These are pretty good:

Now I have to ask like an idiot. How does it work, which ones should I get and where do they go?

Sometimes you have to ask stupid questions to get the answer.

I only shop from highflow so if you could point out something I should get that would be awesome

Edit: Wouldn't it be brilliant to have something like this instead of drilling a hole in the back of the case?

No one here who has anything to say about my shopping list?

Looks like I will need to drill a hole in the back of my case so the tubing can get out of it again cuz there are only two WC holes in the back and they're at the top...

I'd say grab some clear hose. Never seen the point of coloured hose with coloured coolant.
 
I don't use colored coolant. Only pharmaceutical grade coolant with kill coils and corrosion blocker. The liquid I have in my glass is just for show...

Edit: I found the bracket but I still need help finding the right quick release fittings.
 
Thanks. I am going to get the pic I have as my avatar airbrushed on the side of my case later and do green stripes at the top of the sides like this:

I used to bright color in paint but you get the idea...
 
I love the green! That is a pretty sweet build. What I did to help with cable management in Nuclear Fission was, I actually cut off some of the cables I didn't need. Also, you may want to sleeve those cathodes. That white really stands out, and they are VERY quick and easy to sleeve. That radiator is an absolute monster! You may want to ditch those clamps as well (imo they look ugly). If you really want to use barb fittings then buy some 7/16" tubing with 1/2" barbs. Keep that green on the case, I <3 green.

Again, very nice build.

Thanks man. I am ditching the clamps in June when I get my WC upgrade and will get some compression fittings. I just think they look better though not everyone thinks so. Will add some sleeving and thanks ALOT for that tip. I hate those whit cables !!! I will also get some 45° and 90° fittings to get it more tidy...

But A little update. Just got my GTX 680 which I will water cool in June

You may want to have a look at the Koolance GPU waterblocks.

Good choice with the compression clamps. I bought some XSPC Compression Fittings which are very nice and not too chunky (I prefer the XSPC over the Bitspower);

Another thing that is worth considering are 45 degree and 90 degree adapters

Thanks for the advice. I have no need for a sound card and I have decided to get the EK water block that's on the shopping list in my previous post and bitspower fittings.
 
Tahnks man. Only one and a half month until that happens. To bad there is no pill you could take to just sleep for a month while waiting

You can go into a medically induced coma but you would need an respirator and someone would have to monitor you for the duration of the time you're in the coma. It would be a hazzle but it can be done.
