First watercooled build

[benjo]

My parts arrived this morning, so i started to put it together For the note i just ordered the watercooling stuff, i already had a rig.

I'm using;

EK Supreme Clear Top
XSPC Dual Rad
XSPC 400 Pump + Res
Masterkleer 7/16" Tubing
TFC 1/2" Compression fittings
Fesar One Coolant

All inside a P182. I didn't get any pictures whilst putting it together though. I had some trouble mounting the rad the way i wanted, but ended up mounting it with a fan at the rear of the case.

Currently got the quad at stock, and it's idling at 28c

In the near future i'm going to alter the radiator layout, and maybe get a bay res.

[Somecrazy]

Looks good, do you mind posting some pics showing how you mounted the rad?

 

[benjo]

It's not ideal, as the tubing is coming back on itself. I'm planning on relocating the rad to the top of the case anyway, as i cant put the side panel on at the moment P182 gives you the watercooling holes so you can mount it at the back, but you cant screw the side panel in when the rad is there.

Thats a little bit silly really.

internals look brilliant mate

was thinking of a similar set of parts for mine

i especially like the fittings around your tubes on the cpu block

what are they?


much tidier than other fittings i have seen

a great first build and excellent cable management tbh

 

[benjo]

The fittings are the TFC Compression fittings

Yeh they're pretty nice Just make sure all of the barbs are screwed on first before you put the tubing on.. i made that mistake a few times And the tubing is a bit hard to pull off once it's on.
