Hi there, can somebody just ease my fears a little! This is my first time custom building a loop rather than using a kit, the order is already placed with OCUk but I was just a little unsure on the sizes.

Fittings (no mention of the size, im assuming these are for 1/4" holes on the rad/pump/blocks?)

Tubing (this seems to fit over the compression ends fine to me)
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-097-PM

Red/Pump combo (these have 1/4" outlets so im hoping the compression fittings fit....)

Radiator (again, 1.4" so no isses here hopefully?)
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-077-EK

GPU Block (1/4" openings again so no issues?)
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-290-EK

CPU Block (No mention of the opening sizes, but EK seem to like 1/4")
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-203-EK

So yeah, will this all fit together? Im not a total noob, this is probably my 3rd WC setup, but the first one ive custom designed and also it will be a twin loop set-up, purely out of the desire to have it this way, let me know if ive made any boo boo's and il hopefully give you all a build log whenever OCUK decide to get the parts in stock, 4/20 items are out at the moment :(

And lastly, ive ordered some Mayhems concentrated coolant (https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-052-MH) do I have to buy the Mayhems Pure H2O or can I just mix it up with de-ionised water (or distilled water), all the coolants ive ever bought have been of the pre-mix variety hence the silly question.

Cheers, Chris.

The concentrate is fine to use with DI water/distilled. The fittings are all good to fit with your components too.
Just wonder what you mean by twin loop? You mean 2 independent loops with their own pumps for cpu and gpu respectively or 1 loop that encapsulates the gpu and cpu in one?
 
Thanks for the response, has set my mind at ease a little.

By twin loops I mean 2 totally separate loops, one cooling the GPU and other the CPU, each has totally separate lines, res, pump and rads.

May be a little OP for my requirements, especially a 240mm rad just for the CPU, but ive always wanted it and like the way it looks, plus im all up for the challengs of fitting it into the Carbide 540 and making it look good :)

I did look at getting other blocks (mofset, etc), but cant find ones to fit my board, Asus P8Z678 Vpro Gen 3
