Spec me a loop!

[~REALiTY]

Hi Guys,

Can someone spec me a loop which all it needs to do is pump water around, i dont need a cpu block or vga block, i need the water just to go round in a circle id like to have a resevoir/pump combo im just not sure what else i need

What?

Are you saying that you already have these water blocks, or are you really just looking for a cosmetic water feature with no actual cooling ability?

There will be no cooling at the moment, im building a customised project but for me to know it will work i need to get these parts first to test then i will be adding the cooling to it

If you are talking about running a leak test, then you still want the blocks. they dont need to be attached to the cpu/gpu to begin with if you are worried about water leaking etc.

so you would want (depending what what it will be intended for ofc)

Pump, Res, Radiator, CPU block (possibly GPU block) tubing and barbs/compresions.

There's no point in running a loop test outside of the PC, as the act of dissembling reassembling the loop could introduce leak points. Best to put the loop on the components inside the case, as you intend to run it. You can power up the PSU and thus the loop without powering up the motherboard (and thus the CPU, RAM, GPU or other hardware) by using a power supply bridging plug.
