GPU only Loop, how many Fitting/Tubes?.

Go to solution Solved by BobVonBob,

You're looking at 2 fittings for each separate component. So 2 for the water block, 2 for the radiator, and 2 for the combo pump/res. Tubing length depends on what the layout is going to be. Plan out the loop, then use a tape measure to add up approximately how much tubing you think that will be, then double it because it's your first time water cooling and you'll likely have a couple mistakes or things you didn't take into account.

So I am looking to water cool my Radeon VII, with the possibility of adding additional cards down the road.

 

Going with the EK Waterblock for the Card

360 40mm thick RAD with 3x Vardar Fans

EK-DBAY D5 PWM pump/res combo

This my first time water cooling so I think I am going to try Soft tubing, however I have no clue how many tubes or fittings I will need for this, any clue?
