Need opinion on my next High-End watercooled build

Go to solution Solved by FluffyNuggets,

Thanx. I was planning to use this tubing though http://www.frozencpu.com/products/20516/ex-tub-1856/primochilll_12_OD_ri#blank

If there's a 1/4" version of that tubing that ive missed ,then thank you so much for finding these for me. If not then are there 1/2" versions of those fittings? That's the things i couldn't find :/

These are the fittings you'll use for the tubing you linked to http://www.frozencpu.com/cat/l3/g30/c703/s2021/list/p1/Liquid_Cooling-Rigid_Acrylic_-_Fittings-12_OD_Rigid_Fitting-Page1.html?o=title_az

 

If you wanted to use Bitspower fittings you'll wanna use this tubing:

12mm: http://www.frozencpu.com/cat/l3/g30/c633/s2057/list/p1/Liquid_Cooling-Rigid_Acrylic_-_Tubing-12mm_Rigid_Tubing-Page1.html

13mm: http://www.frozencpu.com/cat/l3/g30/c633/s2308/list/p1/Liquid_Cooling-Rigid_Acrylic_-_Tubing-13mm_Rigid_Tubing-Page1.html

16mm: http://www.frozencpu.com/cat/l3/g30/c633/s2059/list/p1/Liquid_Cooling-Rigid_Acrylic_-_Tubing-16mm_Rigid_Tubing-Page1.html

 

I actually just found the angled fittings for acrylic tubing. No clue why I didn't see them before but I'm not seeing them for the 1/2" tubing. 

12mm 30 degree fittings: http://www.frozencpu.com/cat/l3/g30/c703/s2260/list/p1/Liquid_Cooling-Rigid_Acrylic_-_Fittings-12mm_Rigid_Fitting_30-Page1.html

12mm 45 degree fittings: http://www.frozencpu.com/cat/l3/g30/c703/s2261/list/p1/Liquid_Cooling-Rigid_Acrylic_-_Fittings-12mm_Rigid_Fitting_45-Page1.html

12mm 60 degree fittings: http://www.frozencpu.com/cat/l3/g30/c703/s2268/list/p1/Liquid_Cooling-Rigid_Acrylic_-_Fittings-12mm_Rigid_Fitting_60-Page1.html

12mm 90 degree fittings: http://www.frozencpu.com/cat/l3/g30/c703/s2262/list/p1/Liquid_Cooling-Rigid_Acrylic_-_Fittings-12mm_Rigid_Fitting_90-Page1.html

 

So it appears that you'll need to use 12mm acrylic tubing if you want the angled fittings. Otherwise, you'll need to use the adapters I previously mentioned with the fitting for your size tubing. So if you wanted to save some money might be a better choice to go with the smaller tubing. 

 

Also, you can use these to avoid needing to bend the tubing:

12mm 30 degree coupler: http://www.frozencpu.com/cat/l3/g30/c703/s2264/list/p1/Liquid_Cooling-Rigid_Acrylic_-_Fittings-12mm_Rigid_Coupler_30-Page1.html

12mm 45 degree coupler: http://www.frozencpu.com/cat/l3/g30/c703/s2267/list/p1/Liquid_Cooling-Rigid_Acrylic_-_Fittings-12mm_Rigid_Coupler_45-Page1.html

12mm 60 degree coupler: http://www.frozencpu.com/cat/l3/g30/c703/s2265/list/p1/Liquid_Cooling-Rigid_Acrylic_-_Fittings-12mm_Rigid_Coupler_60-Page1.html

12mm 90 degree coupler: http://www.frozencpu.com/cat/l3/g30/c703/s2266/list/p1/Liquid_Cooling-Rigid_Acrylic_-_Fittings-12mm_Rigid_Coupler_90-Page1.html

 

Those will allow you to have a fitting mid run where you'd normally have to do a bend. As you can see, 12mm is currently where all the fittings seem to be. Hope that helped you out! 

Thank you so much in advance for ANY help and opinions you guys can give me on this. I know its lots to read but i did try to keep it short.

 

Base System

So i'm building a new rig and i'm planning on it being an all out, balls to the walls system that's focused on gaming. Price isn't much of an issue but i want to stay away from things like 1000$ CPUs. So top end hardware without anything unreasonable. I'm wanting it to color match throughout the system and once it is built, the next stage will be a custom water loop. I'm going for white with strong blue accents in a micro (i think its micro. I always confuse mini and micro) ITX case. So far, this is what I've got planned for it:

 


Note: So far I'm leaning towards Black/Blue but i was also considering White/Blue

 

MOBO: Asus Gryphon Z97 LGA 1150

Note: I will take the shield off and plasti dip it white

 

CPU: Intel i7 4790K

Note: I overclock a little bit so far but i'm looking at learning how to do it properly just for this build. That's why the K.

 

GPU: 2x Galaxy 980 HOF http://www.galax.net/US/980hof.html

Note: I will get the 980Ti if it comes out before i buy these bad boys but otherwise these for their white PCB and the cooler will eventually get replaced with water loop anyway. Also if someone knows where i can get some from, that'd be great. Thanx

 

PSU: Corsair AX 1200i

Note: NEED THE POWER!

 

RAM: 2x8Gb DDR3 Corsair Dominator Platinum 1866Mhz

Note: I don't do any RAM intensive things so this will be more than enough for gaming

 

Storage: All sorted. Keeping storage from my current build.

 

Cooling (before water): Just use stock until i can implement water

 

I think that is all. If i forgot anything, Just ask. 

 

Water cooling plan

This next part is a rough outline of the water cooling setup i was planning on. If you want to skip this next part, that is fine with me :)

 

I'm wanting to cool CPU and GPUs with a single loop so my idea was to have clear hardline UV reactive tubing and white liquid going through them. Ill put UV lights into the case and then when it turns on, it' be white with blue tinted tubes (at least that's what it looks like in my head). For radiators i was thinking a 360 rad at the top of the case as exhaust. For pump, ill put it at the front of the case on floor and the reservoir will be a ~400mm one (since case is ~400mm long) on the top of the case on the outside. That means drilling holes through the top to lead the pipes through it. The case is wide enough so i can move it over to the side so the pipes from the res and the rad don't get in each others way. I hope what i'm saying is making sense haha. This is my first water cooling rig so i don't know any good components for it. any recommendations are greatly appreciated. Id prefer not to bend but will if i have to.

 

Thanx again in advance for ANY help and opinions you guys can give me. Tell me if you think it'll look stupid or look like a work of art haha. I have no sense for design so yea :P

You mean mATX not mITX.

I also kind of fell in love with this case when I first saw it. Although the 80mm rear fans kind of scare me, I thought they were a thing of the past.

Only a 360mm rad? Are you going to OC?

You definitely dont need an ax1200i... One 360mm rad is not the best option to cool cpu + dual gpu and afaik the S2.0 only supports 240mm rads.

This case doesn't have support for a 360 rad. There's only 2 120mm fan holes at the top. It looks like they could have easily for a third in there though..

It looks like they could have also fit a 140 in the back if they went over the blue.

Yea sorry. mATX :P And yea. I know the 80mm fans aren't great but its all tehy have sadly :( Yea only 360 cause it only has room for a rad at the top of the case. And a 360 only barely fits here.

Edit: Yes i will be a little at the start and going to learn on it pretty much. So far im a pretty nooby overclocker haha

I was going with corsair cause i have never had a bad experience with them. Im more than happy to pay for the extra quality. Also im not too familiar with custom loops so i didn't know how much power it will need. I figured a 1200i would do the trick.

Yes the case wasnt designed for a 360 and youre right that its missing some venting holes for it but i figured i may as well use the extra bit of space since i wouldnt be using it for anything else. I can maybe fit another 240mm on the front. Im not sure if the pump will get in the way though.

Corsair Psu is fine 1200W is just way to much wattage. Get an RM1000 thats more than enough power. Custom loop doesnt use much power just a couple watts for the fans and pump. If you wanna stick with the AX series the 860i might even be enough...

I'm confused. So the two options are; installing a 360mm with 120mm completely blocked (unusable). Or modding in a 120mm hole, which sounds like your plan? That will be difficult to look good as you would have to cut it similarly to the other two holes. It has this slanted grill thing going on.

Alright sweet. I have a standard AX860 at the moment and its quite good :P I think ill go for the RM1000 though since its nice to have headroom if you ever need it for anything. For a CPU & dual GPU loop, would a 360rad with 120mm of it cooling passively+240mm rad be enough? The reason 120mm of the 360 would be passive is since the 360 rad would be mounted at the top and while it'll fit in, it'll only have venting holes for a 240mm. So it wouldn't make sense putting a fan under the closed 120mm. I hope im making sense. Hard to explain with words

Would the covered 120mm be unusable? Or would it cool passively? I thought about cutting extra vents but im no good with that stuff. I can have a look at getting them cut that has the equipment and experience to do that i suppose. Also i might be able to fit a 240mm at the front of the case maybe.

Best approach imo would be to fit a 240 in the front and a 240 in the top... theres no point in putting a 360 on 240 vents. Ive seen parvum builds with the dual 240 setup so im pretty sure that'll work and it will be enough to cool cpu + dual gpu. If you absolutely want a 360 in the top - contact parvum ive seen a buld where someone had a custom made top panel for 360 i think.

Cool. I shall do that. Also i think one of my friends might be able to cut the holes for me if i need them. he works with precision cutting machines. Should work. Thanx though. one more thing. Got any recommendations for custom loop parts? Looking for Pumps and UV rigid tubing and suitable fittings with it. Any ideas? ive had a look around but im not quite sure if those are compatible and id rather ask than get the wrong ones

As far as rigid tubing goes primochill and EK are doing those i think bitspower too they also offer specific fittings. Dont know if theres uv rigid tubing but you could just use uv reactive coolant for same effect (pastel white coolant also reacts nicely under blacklight). As far as pumps go you should either get a laing DDC or a D5. DDC is probably the way to go for a smaller loop.

These are the kind of tubes i was thinking of http://www.frozencpu.com/products/20516/ex-tub-1856/primochilll_12_OD_ri#blank

with fittings like these or similar (Not sure if those fit. I dont think so though) http://www.bitspower.com/html/product/product02.aspx?kind=105&kind2=105

with this color http://mayhems.co.uk/store/ice-white-250ml.html

 

How can i tell the difference between fittings for rigid and soft?

Primochill rigid is good and they offer matching fittings in white: http://www.primochill.com/product-category/primochill/fittings/rigid-tubing/

If it doesnt specifically say fittings for rigid / acrylic tubing then theyre usually not.

Oh. Right. Thank you very much for your help by the way.

 

So i could use these for 90 degree fittings   http://www.frozencpu.com/products/22682/ex-tub-2603/Bitspower_Enhanced_Dual_90-Degree_Multi-Link_Adapter_-_12mm_OD_Rigid_Tube_-_White_BP-DWE90DML.html?tl=g30c703#blank

I would like to avoid bending since i don't exactly have an eye for angles :P

 

And if i was to screw them into a component like for example the pump, id just remove the white caps and screw the thing in as it is?

i dont think so bitspower has 12mm tubing primochill is 12,7mm... if you dont wanna bend the acrylic you might wanna consider normal tubing because its gonna be a pain and cost a ton of money (all the fittings) to get it working with only straight runs...

Hhhhhmmmmmm. Good to know. I think soft tubing makes it look a bit messy. That's why i went with rigid in the first place. i think i'll try my luck with bending. How hard can it really be... :P

 

Cool. I think that's it unless you can think of anything else that' potentially wrong with my plan. I contacted Parvum about the custom parts and if they don't have them, Ill get them cut out by someone who knows how to properly. Also i'll try fit in a 240mm at the front of the case. I think that should give me enough cooling.

 

Thanks for all the help SuperPug :D

Haha, every mans last words. Honestly, buy as many fittings as possible to run straight lines so you wont go insane heating and bending acrylic. Simple 90 degree bends are easy but tight elegant bends not so much. I know I'll never bend acrylic again because I suck at it!

Haha. That's EXACTLY what i'm worried about. I cant find any angled fittings though. Do you know of any? Or at least a way to avoid bending?

Here's some, you'll want the male G1/4" on one end and the female G1/4" on the other end 

 

90 degree: http://www.frozencpu.com/cat/l3/g30/c101/s1306/list/p1/Liquid_Cooling-Fittings-Accessories-90_Adapters-Page1.html

 

45 degree: http://www.frozencpu.com/cat/l3/g30/c101/s1305/list/p1/Liquid_Cooling-Fittings-Accessories-45_Adapters-Page1.html

 

30 degree: http://www.frozencpu.com/cat/l3/g30/c101/s1506/list/p1/Liquid_Cooling-Fittings-Accessories-30_Adapters-Page1.html

 

60 degree: http://www.frozencpu.com/cat/l3/g30/c101/s1505/list/p1/Liquid_Cooling-Fittings-Accessories-60_Adapters-Page1.html

 

To line them up anymore you may need extenders http://www.frozencpu.com/cat/l3/g30/c101/s1354/list/p1/Liquid_Cooling-Fittings-Accessories-Fitting_Extenders-Page1.html

 

Same thing, make sure one end is male and other is female so you can put the rigid fitting on one end. It's gonna cost more but at least you can just cut, chamfer, and sand the tubing and put it in. it will be easier if you have all the parts installed first so then you can measure and get a better understanding of what fittings you'll need. Kinda hard to just guess. If you wanna bend the tubing there's this http://www.frozencpu.com/products/22335/too-130/Monsoon_Hardline_Pro_Full_Bending_Kit_-_12_x_58_16mm.html?tl=g12c133s2087 and http://www.frozencpu.com/products/22334/too-129/Monsoon_Hardline_Pro_Full_Bending_Kit_-_38_x_12_13mm.html?tl=g12c133s2087 so just pick whichever for the size of tubing you'll be using. 

 

 

 

Hope that helps. I left the choice of fittings up to you so just browse whatever you think you'll need.

If you wanna bend the tubing there's this http://www.frozencpu.com/products/22335/too-130/Monsoon_Hardline_Pro_Full_Bending_Kit_-_12_x_58_16mm.html?tl=g12c133s2087 and http://www.frozencpu.com/products/22334/too-129/Monsoon_Hardline_Pro_Full_Bending_Kit_-_38_x_12_13mm.html?tl=g12c133s2087 so just pick whichever for the size of tubing you'll be using. 

 

 

 

Hope that helps. I left the choice of fittings up to you so just browse whatever you think you'll need.  

Thanx. I was planning to use this tubing though http://www.frozencpu.com/products/20516/ex-tub-1856/primochilll_12_OD_ri#blank

If there's a 1/4" version of that tubing that ive missed ,then thank you so much for finding these for me. If not then are there 1/2" versions of those fittings? That's the things i couldn't find :/

These are the fittings you'll use for the tubing you linked to http://www.frozencpu.com/cat/l3/g30/c703/s2021/list/p1/Liquid_Cooling-Rigid_Acrylic_-_Fittings-12_OD_Rigid_Fitting-Page1.html?o=title_az

 

If you wanted to use Bitspower fittings you'll wanna use this tubing:

12mm: http://www.frozencpu.com/cat/l3/g30/c633/s2057/list/p1/Liquid_Cooling-Rigid_Acrylic_-_Tubing-12mm_Rigid_Tubing-Page1.html

13mm: http://www.frozencpu.com/cat/l3/g30/c633/s2308/list/p1/Liquid_Cooling-Rigid_Acrylic_-_Tubing-13mm_Rigid_Tubing-Page1.html

16mm: http://www.frozencpu.com/cat/l3/g30/c633/s2059/list/p1/Liquid_Cooling-Rigid_Acrylic_-_Tubing-16mm_Rigid_Tubing-Page1.html

 

I actually just found the angled fittings for acrylic tubing. No clue why I didn't see them before but I'm not seeing them for the 1/2" tubing. 

12mm 30 degree fittings: http://www.frozencpu.com/cat/l3/g30/c703/s2260/list/p1/Liquid_Cooling-Rigid_Acrylic_-_Fittings-12mm_Rigid_Fitting_30-Page1.html

12mm 45 degree fittings: http://www.frozencpu.com/cat/l3/g30/c703/s2261/list/p1/Liquid_Cooling-Rigid_Acrylic_-_Fittings-12mm_Rigid_Fitting_45-Page1.html

12mm 60 degree fittings: http://www.frozencpu.com/cat/l3/g30/c703/s2268/list/p1/Liquid_Cooling-Rigid_Acrylic_-_Fittings-12mm_Rigid_Fitting_60-Page1.html

12mm 90 degree fittings: http://www.frozencpu.com/cat/l3/g30/c703/s2262/list/p1/Liquid_Cooling-Rigid_Acrylic_-_Fittings-12mm_Rigid_Fitting_90-Page1.html

 

So it appears that you'll need to use 12mm acrylic tubing if you want the angled fittings. Otherwise, you'll need to use the adapters I previously mentioned with the fitting for your size tubing. So if you wanted to save some money might be a better choice to go with the smaller tubing. 

 

Also, you can use these to avoid needing to bend the tubing:

12mm 30 degree coupler: http://www.frozencpu.com/cat/l3/g30/c703/s2264/list/p1/Liquid_Cooling-Rigid_Acrylic_-_Fittings-12mm_Rigid_Coupler_30-Page1.html

12mm 45 degree coupler: http://www.frozencpu.com/cat/l3/g30/c703/s2267/list/p1/Liquid_Cooling-Rigid_Acrylic_-_Fittings-12mm_Rigid_Coupler_45-Page1.html

12mm 60 degree coupler: http://www.frozencpu.com/cat/l3/g30/c703/s2265/list/p1/Liquid_Cooling-Rigid_Acrylic_-_Fittings-12mm_Rigid_Coupler_60-Page1.html

12mm 90 degree coupler: http://www.frozencpu.com/cat/l3/g30/c703/s2266/list/p1/Liquid_Cooling-Rigid_Acrylic_-_Fittings-12mm_Rigid_Coupler_90-Page1.html

 

Those will allow you to have a fitting mid run where you'd normally have to do a bend. As you can see, 12mm is currently where all the fittings seem to be. Hope that helped you out!
