Can someone just check over my order and make sure i haven't missed anything only going to be cooling the cpu for now but will upgrade and cool the gpu in the future when i've made my mind up about which will be my next card. Anything missing just let me know i'll get distilled water from my chemist and get some PT nuke from flea bay or something

Is that tubing in metres? if so you won't need 5m of tubing :)
What case are you putting this in? Just make sure you know where you're going to put each components and how you're going to route tubing
 
Seems fine to me, maybe some fans might help, unless you already have some.

The others will be able to say a definitive yes to stuff, as they have more experience of the top end stuff then i do, but it all looks fine to me.

Yeah kinda just roughed it out on ocuk as the fittings were cheap compared to the bitspower ones which are 6x more exspensive i just didn't really want to be ordering all from different sources just wanted 1 order to arrive with everthing ready to go.

Going into a HAF 932 i like to keep extra tubing incase i **** up lol


just realised i'm replying to the posts in reverse order :confused:
 
But in all seriousness, cart looks spot on really, will be a nice build when its all done, especially with the GPU later.

Don't forget the obligatory build log lol.

Yeah will probably add another rad to the side panel (double rad) before going gpu, Where would be the best place to put the water temp sensor i was thinking after the 360 Rad,

also does anyone know where to get the fill port connection for my case pretty sure i seen a perma fixed connection as i have the fill port hole in the top of the HAF
 
Temp sensor, just place it anywhere in the loop, that is out of the way id say, as the water temp will equal out after a short while, so placement is'nt a big issue.

The fill port after a quick google, you need one that will fit in a 1" space, the Danger Den ones are ideal for that. Then u just need a barb/compression fitting attached to it and job done. Sent u a trust message to a place that sells them.

thx will go have a look now
 
All looks fine, so many builds recently. I'm a novice compared to some here, this build was my first i just read a lot :)

Make sure you have enough room for the res, it's pretty big and will get taller with fittings and tubing bends.

Thats a lot of tubing, i bought 3m and have about 1m left after i had to recut some when i added my gpu.

Couple of little things i found useful but not entirely necesary. Hose cutter, will make sure your tube fits perfectly square on your fittings. Psu bridging plug for bump starting the psu when you fill the loop. you can use a paper clip but for £1 i thought better than sticking paperclips in my psu plugs.

Getting those 1/4 threads to 1/2 ID 3/4OD seem to be a bugger everywhere seems to be out of stock.

if you know anywhere that has them would you kindly send me a trust...
