Watercooling Bit 'n' pieces

Hi all,

I currently have the XSPC raystorm with the 280 rad and v4 pump.

However, I would like to add another radiator to my setup. I currently have Koolance hose clamps on barbs too.

I basically am adding this rad, so I can add my GPU to the loop once I have a D5 pump, but for now with CPU only I am happy with the V4.

Anyway, these are the parts I have picked:

Could you guys please let me know if this will all kit together with my existing kit? I would like to order this tonight if possible.

Many thanks in advance.

This is the kit I currently have:

I have ordered the above, however, I have changed the fittings for the rad, as they where 1/4 and I chose one 1/2.

So I got these, which worked out cheaper as the clamp was included:

I prefer compressions myself, but I don't think you can go wrong with Koolance!

Let us see some pics of that fluid when you're done!

All of the stuff will be here tomorrow, just in time for the weekend!

I know I saw the black fluid, along with red tubing it is gonna look boss, it will be overkill for a CPU only loop, but I plan on adding a GPU further down the line.

Just an update, I have bought a D5 pump also along with a compact res.

Ooo black fluid I'd like to see that.

Looking good so far.

I saw it and was like YES! I need this black fluid.

. Glad to see your plans are coming together

We all know what the plan of action is afterwards...

BF4 we know it!

Just make sure that you are 100% leak free before you power up.

But bf4 is a damn good game for stress your GPU and CPU at the same time to give an idea of max temps. Probably the best compliment I can give the pile of crap.

My Primochill tubing was too thick for the Koolance clips... So had to improvise with some jubilee clips, which actually look cool, almost industrial like.

Here she is:

I'm actually really pleased with how it has all come together! What you guys think?

Also I just played Titanfall @Insane

and CPU temps where around 32c

The D5 even on the lowest setting has made a big difference along with the rad! I did remount the CPU cooler too though.
