Spec me mods for my Silent Loop 360mm

Vidar · 9 Dec 2019 at 17:10

So I got some major pump noise today that I believe to be trapped air, I've been advised in the past that the coolant needs topping up if you get an air lock so as I've got to faff around with pulling that out I thought I'd have a go at modding it...

I'm thinking this is everything I need for now?

My basket at Overclockers UK:

4 x EK Water Blocks EK-Torque STC 10/13mm Soft Tubing Compression Fitting - Black= £6.95
1 x Mayhems Ultra Clear Watercooling Tubing (38 - 12) 13/10mm - 1m= £1.99
1 x Mayhems X1 Clear Premixed Watercooling Fluid 1L= £6.95

Total: £45.44 (includes shipping: £8.70)

I know it's not a full custom loop or anything but figure it will give me a little bit of experience before building a loop in the future... What bits do you guys recommend for a complete beginner?

So what have you got in your rig currently? Sorry its not very clear what you're trying to do.

I have the Silent loop in my rig, it needs the coolant topping up so I figured I'd have a go at changing the tubes etc. As a cheap go at water cooling.

Well, things that can be modded in and may or may not be useful:

- Reservoir
- Flow indicator
- Flow sensor for reading in software
- Temp sensor/readout
- Inline filter

Probably all overkill except maybe the reservoir

Or of course an extra radiator!
