How much liquid needed?

[Chiobe]

This is the water cooling parts:

 

EK-CoolStream RAD XTX 480 (600ml)
EK-CoolStream RAD XTX 480 (600ml)
EK-CoolStream PE 480 Radiator (235ml)
EK-XRES 140 D5 Vario (incl. pump) (~240ml)
EK-Supremacy EVO Acetal+Nickel
EK-FC970 GTX TF5 Acetal+Nickel
EK-FC970 GTX TF5 Acetal+Nickel
EK-FC TRIPLE Serial Terminal
Upto 5m of PrimoChill PrimoFlex Onyx Black 12,7mm (1/2") / 19,1mm (3/4")

 

Rads + Res is 1,675L, but no idea how much liquid for the rest.

get 3L of destilled water and you'll be fine. You'll probably need only 2, but its better safe than sorry. Oh and don't get any fancy pre-mixed liquids. Destilled water + ptnuke/kill coil and possibly die is the way to go.

Just to be sure and have some if you need it like draining or sth, I would buy 4L, hope to see pictures of the building

[Oshino Shinobu]

I'd get 3-4L. I used 1.5 litres for cpu, 2 GPU, 360 and 240 rads + tubing. 

[Chiobe]

I got 3 liters of Ek-coolant clear (premix) and 5 liters of Mayhems Ultra Pure H20.

 

Can I mix them if its not enough of the premix?

You'll need about 3 liters.

Um... Why use any of theese? Just distilled water + biocide - cheap and safe.

Keep in mind, that u need to wash your new waterblock and rads (especially rads) with distilled water before installing.

You will see many tiny metal and plastic particles comming out of them with water.

I went EK-coolant, since its all my parts are from EK.

So there should not be any problems with it.

 

I can get my hands on drinking water, but not distilled water in my local stores. So water sold online, is the only choice.

But I got the Mayhems water primarly for cleaning out the system first.

 

But back to my earlier question, can I use some of the Mayhem water in my loop, if my 3 liters of EK-coolant is not enough (for some reason)?

Yes, u can use it (I believe they filter it with reverse osmosis, the same way as astronauts get water from wastes). But it is always better to run your system with single liquid (no mixing).

As for distilled water - you can buy it at any pharmacy or car shop (they sell it to fill car accumulators, it's ok for water cooling).

[XxKINGxX40]

Distilled water is like $1 per gallon here, so I always get a gallon.

You'd be fine with around 3-4 liters

I know that single liquid is best, but I asked since waiting several days on more liquid is stupid, if you can use what you have at hands.

I don't think, that something bad gonna happen, if u mix those two liquids, because one of them is pure distilled water.
