Hi guys,

I'll be building pc with custom water cooling loop.

 

So far I have:
i5 8600K,
2x8GB DDR4 Kingston memory sticks,
MSI Z390 Gaming Edge AC,
R9 390 + Arctic Accelero Xtreme IV (I'll be swapping for 2070 this year later...),
Corsair CX650M,
SSD, SSHD, etc...

 

I have chosen components for loop and others:
Case: Fractal Design Meshify S2 (max: 3x 140mm for fans on top (there will go rad), 1x rear 140mm, 3x 140mm, bottom 2x 140mm) (9-fan support)
Radiator + fans for rad: Thermaltake Pacific CL420 Radiator + Pure Plus 14 RGB (3-pack) (140mm)
Case fans: Pure Plus 14 RGB (3-pack) (140mm) ---- (I will later buy 1 more pack of these fans to fit all positions for fans)
Res/pump combo: Pacific PR22-D5 Plus --- a lot of ppl sayin that I should go for normal combo, not RGB, but it looks sick, right? :D I am upgrading 1time/per 2-3years so I wanna have it cool, should I take it? And someone said that I should not take that high reservoir (310mm), idk then...
CPU Block: Thermaltake Pacific W5G
GPU Block: Pacific V-RTX 2070 Plus - for that 2070 which I'll buy later...
Tubing: V-Tubler 4T (19mm) or 3T (16mm) - yeah it's soft, don't blame me :D I am begginer so I don't have any stuff and experience for mounting hard tubes...
Fittings: Still I dunno which should I take for compatibility
Coolant: some clear Thermaltake 1000ml

 

Every RGB component will go to the Thermaltake Premium Sync Controller and controller will go to motherboard and then I should be able to control everything in Mystic Light software. I would take EKWB components, but they don't have components with ARGB (5V) stuff, just RGB (12V). Everything RGB what I have chosen from TT should be ARGB (5V).

So what do you think? Are they fine components? Should I swap something? And please can you help me choosing these fittings and tubing?

 

THANK YOU!

Honestly i wouldn't water cool with nothing Thermaltake,Seen too many problems and their blocks are on the lower end of flow and higher temps.Only way id do is hardware lab rads for blocks cpu xspc or heatkiller for gpu both xspc an heatkiller have 2080 blocks i believe those fit the 2070 cards.For gpu both brands have rgb blocks but only xspc has a cpu block with rgb.

Everyone makes decent stuff nowadays. 

Prefer the styling of ek stuff, which is why I get it. And specific parts for the boards I tend to get. Which a company like tt would never make.

Well again, you are stuck with what you can get. Lights don’t cool my setup better so I tend to go for looks and quality after that.
