This will be my first time doing water cooling and any tips would be much appreciated! This includes tips on building, leak testing, pricing... ANYTHING!
Obviously, I'm gonna need a pump, radiator, tubing, reservoir?, and blocks. That is really all I know, though. From what I've read, it sounds like I should go with 1/2in ID tubing. I've also read that reservoir is not necessary, but it seems like you'd want one because of inevitable evaporation/refill.
Circuit order should be pump -> radiator -> blocks -> pump, right?
This is what I have so far: (please excuse the excessive amount of tubing)
-
$65 pump
-
$65 radiator with built-in reservoir
-
$62 CPU block
-
$40 GPU block
-
$6.40 (16*0.40) tubing
-
$6.40 (16*0.40) clamps
Total: ~$245 + whatever shipping is = ~$260
I see there's a section for "T lines," but I'm not completely sure what they're for.. maybe an alternative to reservoirs?
If anyone can give me any input, it'll be much appreciated!
