First and foremost im not asking anyone to spec me anything because of how p*ssing annoying it is when people dont do any research and expect people to do all the work for them. anyway....

Im thinking about building my own WC loop for my q6600 with the possibility to expand in the future.
I have done a fair bit of research into it myself and looked at a lot of different setups, components etc. but would just like someone to claryify all of the components i will need, e.g.

-Pump
-Resevoir
-Rad
-CPU block
and so on.

Thats all im asking for then i will do the rest myself and comeback with my shopping list.
If anyone wants to spec me any component because of how highly they would recommend it feel free to by all means, it would be appreciated.

Thanks a lot :D

Flare.
 
Ah yes, fluid would be rather important to have :D

I shall get some tape then, i think my dad has a tube cutter somewhere.

I read somewhere to use 5-10% anti-freeze mixed with deionised water instead of using the UV coolent stuff because that will leave loads of muck in your loops after a while?
 
:eek: Thats shockingly bad!
Im pretty sure im not going to go for UV fluid anymore, just UV piping :D

Thanks for sharing that DJ
 
Nope, you just need a tee to the fillport and use that section of tubing as your res.

Can you link me to one please?
Would i use one of these/something similar:

So i have no res, just the tubing and the pump?


If you just go with de-ionised water, a few drops of PT-Nuke stops anything growing or Halfords Coolant Conditioner. I've heard of people using iodine too or even pure alcohol as an additive. My last loop has Feser Black but only because it came in a bundle won on the Bay. Normally, I just add a cpaful of the Halfords stuff as I already have some.

Thanks for that, think i will do what you do :)
