Advice on redoing my loop... again.

Why don't you use the blocks you already have as it is, but with some premix with anti corro and anti algae additives already in it.
As for the new stuff make sure to get some thing that does not "react" with pure water and silver/sulfates. Let it be "properly" plated nickel blocks(from almost any other block manufacturer apart from EK) or copper blocks.
But with copper there is a chance is tarnishing the block in time, I learnt this the hard way.
You have to use special care when handling copper blocks as well. Tarnish can be removed but it a pitta.

EDIT :
I used to like EK stuff, I still like their RESs and RADs! but not the blocks.
I can say only good things about Koolance CPU-370! I am partial as I have one though :)

As you already have most of the rig in a XSPC theam(where things are visible) I would consider Raystorm - even it is a copper block at the base.
If I already didn't have the CPU 370 I would have gone for a less restrictive block as RayStom or a "DT Sniper" (not available in Uk yet - but I think it is bad ass!)

I've bought a koolance cpu-370 myself along with an RP-401X2 :D
 
Right, first off, thanks to everyone who has contributed to this thread. It's helped me out quite at bit. Thank you for your recommendations of products and your personal opinions.

I have opted to give the new EK copper stuff a shot. Why? Because I like the look of it and, to me, seems to be my best course of action to keep me happy. One questions though, will I be ok to run the loop with Mayhems Pure H2O and a silver kill coil and some biocide? No die will be used.

Thanks again,
Ross

Should be okay but you could opt for a clear pre-mix which has everything you need but without the dye. I know ocuk stock the EK clear, not sure if mayhems have one though.

Awesome thanks. I suppose using their stuff with their products has to be ok...
 
VL4N-F13-19S
with
VL4N-M13-19S


"N" - Non Spill
"F" - Female
"M" - Male
"13" - internal diameter
"19" - External Diameter

EDIT:
Assuming you have a single loop and GPUs to CPU is a Serial connection,
yes you would need 3 sets(3 x male parts and 3 x female parts)

Just been flushing the new rad which is the XSPC EX240 Multioption and I'm pretty impressed as there is no flux or any other **** coming out of it! Do these things get factory flushed?
