Custom Watercooled Build Check

[N3v3r3nding_N3wb]

I have been tasked with creating 3 parts lists for my computer class. We plan on using the rough design attached (it's the logo of my school). A raised, open glass will cover a piece of steel or carbon or maybe wood (we haven't decided yet, we're still talking to other classes about materials). I have completed those three part lists and I believe that I've included everything and made smart decisions, but I have precisely zero experience with watercooling, so I figured I'd ask you kind folks to help look the lists over and make sure I've not forgotten anything or done something stupid.

 

I've stayed away from mixing metals; all my watercooled parts are either copper or nickel-plated copper. I've also kept all the fittings to G1/4" because that seems like the standard and is what most things came in.

 

We plan on overclocking the CPU and GPU, and, from what I read, those motherboards were average overclockers for their price points.

 

Thank you in advance to anyone reading or helping, and if I've forgotten to include something here or on the lists please let me know.

You need a controller for these fans to control the rgb.

Get two of the triple fan packs with rgb controllers(lighting node pro) included, if you want to control the rgb.

Thank you, I've done it and changed my links.

Also if they are showpieces then maybe get the corsiar LL fans instead, they have much more addressable rgb, so you can do much more advanced animations with them, and performance is pretty similar.

Again the obvious "if you didn't spend that much on fans you could get a better cpu", but if it is a showpiece then the fans are justified.
