Needed coolant for my build

[paultje162]

Dear overclockers,

I recently build my new PC with a custom waterloop. This is what i got:

D5 Pump
XSPC Front Bay Resevoir(2 bay)
360 Rad in the top 25mm thick
120 Rad in the back 35mm Thick
EK CPU Block

There is a total of around 1 to 1.5m of tubing.

How much liters would you guys reccomend me to buy?

Greetings, Paul

If there's no GPU in the loop too - I really wouldn't bother putting that 120mm rad in. The 360 alone will be more than enough.

I'd get 2 litres - 1 should probably do it, but you may as well have some spare.

120mm rads are for n0000bs. forget it and keep the loop looking clean.

Thanks for the info. I will remove the 120 and make it as clean as possible. For now there is not a graphics card in the loop. Maybe later on a will buy a block for my 7970. Will the 360 rad be capable of cooling them both? I still have a spare 240 that i can put in the front.

I'd put the 240 in when you do get round to WCing the GPU too.

Ok. Then i will do that! Thanks for the info!
