Hi Everyone,
I’m looking to build a new gaming rig and have never water cooled before so I’m looking for advice and a bit of guidance. Ive read the stickys on here and watched some videos on youtube but im still a bit unsure of a few things. I have heard that the case I have chosen can be a bit of a nightmare to work with but I love the design and it has to be wall mounted due to lack of space and also not too loud as it will be in my living room. I have a list of what I intend on using but as it’s my first time I’m not sure if I’ve missed anything and I’m also not sure of the number of fittings I will require but I guess that’s dependant on the routing of the tubing. Im also not sure about fitting and tubing sizes is what i have listed ok or is there a better option for my build?
So this is my intended build-
Case: Lian li pc-o7sx
Motherboard: ASUS Maximus Hero VIII
Processor: i7 6700k
PSU: Evga SuperNOVA 650 G2 or Evga SuperNOVA 750 G2 (not sure if I really need the 750 or that it will fit)
GPU: EVGA GTX1070 ftw
RAM: Dominator Platinum 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4
HDD: Seagate ST1000DM003 3.5 inch 1TB
SSD: Samsung 750 EVO 500 GB
Thermal compound: Arctic mx-4
Cooling bits-
EK Water Blocks EK-FC1080 GTX EVGA FTW
EK-FB ASUS M8G Monoblock
EK coolstream se 360 radiator
Noctua NF-F12 Fans x3
EK xres revo d5 100pwm
Primoflex Advanced Tubing 13/10 - Clear x3
EK-AF Angled 90 Degrees G1 / 4 inch – Black
EK-AF Angled 45 Degrees G1 / 4 inch- Black
EK-AF Ball Valve (10mm) G14 - Black Nickel
EK-CSQ Plug G1/4 (for EK-Badge) - Black Nickel
EK-AF Pass-Through G1/4 – Black
I know I need fluid too but haven’t decided on colour as yet.
Any pointers would be great!
Cheers
