Hello, I have bought all my components and I will be building my pc today, I have got an Air 540 and I will only be watercooling my CPU, I just wanted to ask some top tips and do's and donts, this is the first time I am building a pc and watercooling so I'm a little worried so be prepared for some noobish questions :D

Thanks in advance
 
When building your loops, measure and remeasure..
Cut the tube endings as flat as possible.. if you're using compression fittings don't over tighten them, or you will end up with a locked up piece of metal :)
Take your time, if you're fitting a drain point, make sure it is at the lowest part of the loop. A Bleed point that is easily accessable is a a lifesaver when it comes to getting air out of your loop.
Don't be afraid to build your loop dry in your case and take it all out when you're satisfied to leak test, it's extra work, but the peace of mind is priceless. Have a big Roll of Bounty, because despite what the advert says.. One sheet is not plenty if it all hits the fan.
And enjoy the build.
