First Water Cooling Loop... Comments Please...

[QuantumX]

Gents,

I'm looking to start my first water-cooling loop this week and order the parts, I've done some research read the stickies and managed to develop a parts list for my loop.

I wanted to ask if you could review my list and se if i have made any mistakes or there are any obvious improvements.

NOTE: the case is Corsair Obsidian 800D Full Tower Case and i have a number of 120mm cosair fans available. Also i'm looking for my loop to be very minimalist in design and not have any fancy LEDs or Colours etc. as i have my case out of the way under the desk.

SO here are the parts i'm looking to use;

• PUMP/RES XSPC X2O 750 Dual Bayres/Pump (Black) V4
• RAD XSPC RX360 120mm Radiator - Black
• CPU Block Koolance CPU-380I Water Block (Intel Processor)
• PSU Bridge XSPC PSU Bridging Connector (24 Pin)
• T-Fitting XSPC G1/4" T Fitting (Black Chrome)
• Coolant Mayhems Ultra Pure H20 Watercooling Fluid 1L x2
• HOSE XSPC HighFlex Hose 7/16" ID, 5/8" OD, 15.9/11.1mm, 2m, Clear/UV x2
• Fittings XSPC G1/4" to 7/16" ID, 5/8" OD Compression Fitting (Black Chrome) x10
• Kill Coil Mayhems Fine Silver Kill Coil x4
• VGA Block Watercool Heatkiller GPU-X³ 79X0 Ni-Bl x2
• For Drain Koolance QD3 Female Quick Disconnect No-Spill Coupling, Barb for ID 13mm (1/2in)
• For Drain Koolance QD3 Male Quick Disconnect No-Spill Coupling, Male Threaded G 1/4 BSPP

One question is do have is for the VGA Blocks this is any sort of connector i can get between the two or will they have to have their own separate hose connectors...

So any comments are welcome especially any suggestions for anything i have missed etc....

When building the system. take the kill coil drop them in the water bottle and leave on the side while you build the system this will help. Keep the system out of direct sun light as well when only using kill coils for the first few weeks. You need the silver ions to build up .
