Right guys, finger is hovering over the buy button. Here is my list:

- XSPC EX240 240mm Dual Fan Radiator
- EK Water Blocks EK-DCP 4.0 Pump
- EK Water Blocks EK-Bay Res
- 7/16" ID (5/8" OD) Masterkleer PVC Tubing Clear - 3.3 Metre Pack
- EK-PSC Compression (ID 7/16", OD 5/8") - G1/4 Black (8)
- Mayhem Pre-Mix X1 UV Blood Red - 1Ltr

And here is the diagram of how I would like to install it:

So, does this look good to go?

How did you make that diagram?
It's excellent!

The order and layout looks good to me, but you may need slightly larger radiuses to stop kinking.
Click to expand...

Made the diag with photoshop, most of the sizes are pretty accurate :)

Would you suggest getting 1/2" tubing instead? I saw that you can't put 2 1/2" compression fittings side by side on the HF though :/
 
Just realised they only have 2 compression fittings left.. darn, theres allways 1 thing in my list out of stock no matter where I look!

Mind end up having to go for barbs.

Do barbs look crap with rotary extentions?

Edit: They have 1/2" compression fittings in stock, i heard they may not fit side by side on the HF but some people say they will. Anyone know for sure? It would be the EK compression fittings.

Hey guys, what do you think about this layout instead?

Basically ditching the bay res and getting a DCP 4.0 Combo res solution.

Opinions?
 
Ah, im not actually getting my stuff from OCuK unfortunatley mate :(

Too many items out of stock at the mo. I've found a place that can ship me compression fittings via cheap post method tho which is handy :)
 
Trust me dude I would order from OCuK in a heart beat but they fail @ stock control!

For W/C gear anyway :p

XSPC EX240 120mm Radiator - Black - Out of Stock
EK DCP 4.0 Pump (12v) - Out of Stock
EK Reservoir Combo DCP 4.0 - Out of Stock
Phobya Nano-G 12 PWM - Out of Stock
Mayhems X1 UV Red - Out of Stock
EK PSC Compression Fitting 7/16 - 4 left

I'm also confused at how they can have 10+ V8 Watercooling Kit's in stock when they use 3 of the components above that are out of stock..? :confused:

Hmm this is interesting.

If the DCP 2.2 combo pump / res is enough for the CPU and possibly a GPU in the future that would interest me more.

I hear the DCP 4.0 pumps are bad for noise levels and vibration etc.
 
If I go for the DCP 2.2 I would probably mount it in the HDD bay so as to make the loop more tidy. I could use the dampening foam on the bottom of the bay, surely that would be enough to deaden the noise and vibrations?
