It's been over 5+ years since I did watercooling. I know I don't wanna go hard way e.g. acrylic tubing/copper

 

 


I need a full block for my GTX 980TI G1  for the block I was looking at Ek or this one

 

 

I have a (own) a  Swiftech H320 X2 Prestige and want to add it to that loop. I guess I need help with the fittings and tubing?

 

Thanks in advance

It should be compatible with any G 1/4" threaded fittings, and you choose your fittings according to your choice of tubes. For example, if you are going to get 5/8" OD (outer diameter), 3/8" ID (inner diameter) tubing, you would want the corresponding fittings. Both the OD and the ID would have to match for a tight seal.

For example:

http://www.performance-pcs.com/primoflex-advanced-lrt-10ft-tubing-3-8in-id-x-5-8in-od-crystal-clear.html

 

this combination should work just fine.

I was looking at the fittings here

https://www.ekwb.com/shop/catalogsearch/result/?q=eK-HDC+Fitting+12mm+G1%2F4

 

but the disclaimer says " EK-HDC Fitting is a solid-tube compression fitting, designed for use with solid tubing such as Acrylic, Copper, Stainless Steel or any other type of compatible hard tube. "

Weird, I thought because it said or rather didnt add regular tubes in the disclaimer that it wouldnt fit and or work. Come to think of it I might have watercooling gear from old build and i think I have new tubing also...hmmm

since you don't want to use hardlines, those fittings will not fit flex tubing..

 

you'll need similar to this:

I'd have to add another pump wouldn't I? My AIO has a Swiftech MCP350 12 VDC Pump I am just not sure if that's enough for another radiator.....

radiators have no part in pump selection, only the amount of water blocks used.

Id be really interested in doing this simple because my results on youtube/google/forums have netted "0" on this AIO unit and it being able to expand and if its worth it. It be nice to make a video give some feedback to community.

the more the radiators the more distance the water has ti travel hence more work for the pump

Yeah that's what I though. I remember spending a full week reading about this back when I use to watercool.

ummm, nope.

today's radiators are low-restricted to deny pump pressure or load. install 4-5 water blocks and now you have restrictions needing more pump to move coolant.

Update: It appears my local computer store has watercooling stuff in stock. So I might go that route vs online because if the parts are faulty of leak I can at least return them.

 

Just need a radiator.  Keep in mind I have/own this case.
