Halp pls

I just ordered my first water cooling loop for my CPU. Adding a GPU block later when it becomes easily available. 

here it is

 

EK-Supremacy EVO Acetal CPU-block

Alphacool NexXxoS XT45 Full Copper 240 x 2

EK-DDC-3.2-PWM pump

Phobya Balancer 150 reservoir

13/10mm PrimoFlex Advanced LRT tubing

Noctua 120 x 120 x 25 NF-P12-PWM x 4

 

 

aaand here is my question: do i need to buy more different kinds of fittings for the pump? i bought 10 of these G1/4 13/10mm compression fittings by Phobya. Doesn't look like they fit on the pump. (i don't have the parts yet)

Zipties, you are missing zipties.

[JeffreyEagan]

The pump has integrated barbs.

if you are going to be adding a GPU.... I'd recommend a D5 pump. And in that case, you probably will need 2 more fittings.

 

Otherwise, you need zipties.

Alright cool. That was pretty much what i thought. Thanks

Yup Same as above, zipties. Also, D5 style pump when upgrade to add GPU block.

So why D5? Its more powerful?

to connect the pump to what-not with fittings, you'll need a pump top.

another thing to consider is that the DDC uses airflow for cooling and would

suggest the heatsink for that pump as well

Alright, seems like everyone is suggesting a D5. I now changed the DDC pump to a EK-XTOP D5 PWM. Its 25 euros more but i guess its worth it.

[airdeano]

either can handle the job. the extra the D5 costs gets eaten up by the heatsink

for the DDC. the D5 is much larger (mid-full towers cases) and DDC for the

mATX-mITX builds for the compact size.
