Spec Help - First Time Watercooling

[WantoN]

Questions that might be good to ask yourself:

• What tools will I need?
  • Heat gun?
  • Something to chamfer the tubes?
  • Hacksaw?
  • Something to tighten down a fitting that leaks when hand tight?
  • Anything I haven’t considered?

• How will I ensure straight cuts?
• How will I mark where to cut?
• Where will I do the work? Do I have a heat safe area?
• What PPE do I have, and what do I need?
• How will I clear up a bad spill or leak quickly?
• How will I drain the loop?

Also I’ve missed what rad you’re using, but I assume you have one? For me 360 would be the minimum for GPU & CPU, if you want it quiet and with overclocking headroom.

Sorry if the questions are obvious or stupid. But I often get so excited about a new project that I forget the basics

Thanks guys and good questions to bare in mind. I’ve been busy lately and go on holiday shortly so haven’t had a chance to look in to it any further . I’ll definitely be making some purchases when I return to get the ball rolling!
