Which watercooling bits to buy to complete system?

[thepeganator]

Looking for the rest of the stuff I need to complete my WC setup.

Have so far:
Rad.
Block.
Res.
Pump.
Clips.

Need the rest of everything.
Res, pump and block have barbs, rad doesn't.

Overclockers store stuff is good , free shipping rocks.

Swiftech Mcres
Laing DDC pro pump
The biggest clips you can find that will distract from that old cpu block

What I meant is that I already have what I listed.

I need hose, barbs, coolant etc, the small things.

Most people on here seem to use Feser Coolant, any of these should do.

Feser tubing as well in whatever size you decided to use, will have to get barbs in a matching size as well. What size are the ones youve got now? 3/8 or 1/2 inch?

What barbs will I need for the rad?
Looking for 1/2", but not sure what thread size...

And is it best to use 3/8" or 7/16" tubing on 1/2" barbs?

 

[Ducky Spud]

Quite a lot of people seem to like 7/16 tubing on 1/2" barbs, tend not to need clips or anything to hold the tube on then and gives it a clean look. 3/8" tubing may be a bit too difficult to get over 1/2" barbs? Not sure myself, never tried. You have 1/2" barbs on your blocks and things already then?

Think your rad used 3/8" thread, best to check the spec on theyre website for info.

 

[Ducky Spud]

These barbs should be right, 3/8" thread and 1/2" barb.

These ones if you use 3/8" tubing

Got this so far:

 

[thepeganator]

Will I need a tubing cutter or is it just an unnecessary gimmic?

 

[Ducky Spud]

If youve got some good quality sharp scissors you'll be fine. It just makes sure you dont make a mess cutting through the tubing by having to hack through with blunt blades

 

[Ducky Spud]

Do your res and pump have 1/2" barbs as well? best to check now rather than later!

Everything does apart from the output on my pump :S

The input on the pump is 1/2", can't figure out what the output is
