Spec me a watercooling setup

Sweet, thanks guys really appreciate the help.
I did look at the bridge but I do like the look of short tubes between.
If I don't use a bay res, how does that EK waterblock NoName posted fit in the case?
You can lay the 540 on its side if that's the problem?

They come with little brackets that you screw to the case somewhere... When I had a 540 i put the pump/res in the 'dark side just in front of the PSU

Ok thanks, that models out of stock so will wait until its back in.

Slightly more expensive, but there's also this https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-883-EK&groupid=962&catid=2133&subcat=1845

Quite a pricey list in the end. Thanks for the help guys.

Finally received the rest of the parts for this, (yes its been out of stock this long!!) so hopefully I can crack on with it this weekend. Thanks again NNNN & uncle Petey for all your advice.

Hi guys, sorry to resurrect this old thread. Still havent cracked on with the upgrade yet and judging by the videos on youtube etc it'd be a good idea to build a drain into my loop?
What kit would I need that is compatible with what I already bought? I bought everything in the original list, except I went with EK fittings instead of Monsoon.

3 more compressions, an equal tee and a ball valve. Oh and maybe a male to male extender

Does that make sense?

cadmunkey · 24 Nov 2015 at 13:23

Erm, maybe

I'll check out EK parts in the shop and see what they have that match your description. Cheers!

cadmunkey · 24 Nov 2015 at 13:45

NNNN what would I need the male to male extender for? I've figured out the rest thanks.

NoNameNoNumber · 24 Nov 2015 at 14:21

The ball valve I had has female ports. To connect it I needed to use either male-male or 2 compressions and a piece of hose. There are several ways to configure it though... As you've probably gathered by now

cadmunkey · 24 Nov 2015 at 14:23

Yep, learnt a lot more by looking at the parts you suggested this morning so thanks for that

Think I've sussed it now, cheers!
