Looking to order today/tomorrow - please advise on parts to complete custom loop :)

[snips86x]

Ok, so since I'm having issues with shifting my Titans, I may as well complete my custom loop considering I have the majority of the parts. So far I have...

1x EK Copper CPU Block
1x XPSC D5 Vario Pump & XPSC Acrylic Tank
6x 16/10 Chrome 1/4" Compression Fittings
2x EK GTX Titan Full Cover Water Blocks
3x 140mm Akasa Vipers

What do you think about the clear tubing?
Would red tubing be better or should I go with clear tubing & red coolant.

I've also listed the red compressions fittings as I think they'd look smart but they can be changed.

This is what I plan to get....thoughts?

Thanks for your input! Blood red or UV red?

I'l agree, it looks really nice but I was looking for pre-mixed!

 

[snips86x]

Couldn't see them under the premixed filter. Would they be elsewhere...?

I disagree on the water temp. Its very useful to see whats going on in your water loop and where you might have issues.

+1. its always good to see what is delta water temp and how your loop is performing.

That was my intention! I know the coolant has a limit so want to make sure it doesn't get to that limit

Do you have UV lighting already?
Will you mostly be usingthe PC in the dark?

If not, blood red.
I preferred blue myself, though.

No, I was considering some white LED strips to put in and thinking about it now, I may just get the water and change to a coloured liquid later on.

So far it looks like this:

Now I know OcUK don't have the correct plexi block for my GPUs so wondering what else I could use to bridge them?

 

[snips86x]

Akasa 140mm Viper are very good fans. Rated static pressure is 3.12 mm/H2O. Only problem can be their yellow color. For my latest build I have painted 3 of them to white. But they do the job.

I've got 3 in my case which arrived yesterday. Reduced my GPU temp by 10c Superb fan!

Can you not order that part elsewhere?

I could but I'm not sure I'd get it in time for building at the weekend!
