Custom Loop

Hello everybody, I'm new to this PC stuff but I know all the basics and I know how to build a PC. The only problem I've had lately is that someone told me to Custom Loop my PC because of the components I have on my PC. You can check that out by going to my profile and scrolling down.

Anywho, I've never even gave a thought about putting a Custom Loop in my PC but I changed my mind when I found out how easy it was. The only hard part is picking the items. I really don't know any consumer products when it comes to Custom Water Cooling so I need this community to help me by giving me a list of where I should get each component from the best company.

As far as I know you only need the following to build a Custom Loop; so please tell me the best company that sells the following.

Pump:- (Best Company that makes these?)

Fans:- (Best Company that makes these?)

Reservoir:- (Best Company that makes these?)(Must be an oval shaped Reservoir.)

Radiators:- (Best Company that makes these?)(One that can fit in a Phantom 820.)

Tubings:- (Best Company that makes these?)(Must be colored Green.)

Fittings:- (Best Company that makes these?)(Must be Compression in Silver.)

Coolants/Water:- (Best Company that makes these?)(I think someone told me to use Distilled Water.)

Water Block Materials:- (Best Company that makes these?)

CPU Water Blocks:- (Best Company that makes these?)

GPU Water Blocks:- (Best Company that makes these?)

I thank you very much in advance for whoever helps me out with this.

P.s This "Ghost" fellow didn't help me out all so the people that have been trying to get this answer maybe someone generous will share this information with us. :).

As far as I know you only need the following to build a Custom Loop; so please tell me the best company that sells the following.

Pump:- (Best Company that makes these?) Swiftech, MCP 35x for head rate, MCP655 (D5) (not - B) vario for flow rate

Fans:- (Best Company that makes these?) Depends on budget, Rosewill Hyperboreas, Yate Loons, or Sayno Denki's are great on a budget. If you have a bit more cash Noiseblocker Eloops, Scythe GT, Silverstone Air penetrators, and NFF12's  

Reservoir:- (Best Company that makes these?)(Must be an oval shaped Reservoir.)  Anything but 5.25 bay res

Radiators:- (Best Company that makes these?)(One that can fit in a Phantom 820.)

Tubings:- (Best Company that makes these?)(Must be colored Green.) Swiftech Primoflex gets a lot of praise, but it still has plasticiser leaching issues like almost all tubing aside from the likes of chemical grade tubing. Tygon is quite good as well. 

Fittings:- (Best Company that makes these?)(Must be Compression in Silver.) IIRC Monsoon and Bitspower 

Coolants/Water:- (Best Company that makes these?)(I think someone told me to use Distilled Water.) Use distilled with colored tubing. Mayhems dye (NOT AURORA) gets a lot of praise. But distiller is pretty much always better than colored coolant unless you're mixing corrosive metals, which you shouldn't, so the point is null. Distilled + PTnuke or silver is also cheaper, and you won't be needing any additives since you're buying silver compressions.

Water Block Materials:- (Best Company that makes these?)

CPU Water Blocks:- (Best Company that makes these?)

GPU Water Blocks:- (Best Company that makes these?)

I thank you very much in advance for whoever helps me out with this.

Whatever I crossed out is arbitrary

No need for custom loop.

Just wondering, why not 5.25 inch resivores?

PITA to deal with, high flow rates/turbulence often cause air to leak into the pump (single din design), require longer runs because you have to move it to fill it.

The initial bleed takes longer, yes, but I've never had issues of air leaking into the pump (apart from micro bubbles). Also, if you position it well you can avoid having to move it out for filling (either moving it one down from the top and using tubing to fill it or moving it slightly in for the filling if you have access from above).

 

Not relevant in this case of course but they are really nice in cramped builds where there is just not enough space or in CPU only loops where it can lead to better runs, and of course easier to mount.

Feel free to PM for any water-cooling questions. Check out my profile for more ways to contact me.

In SFF and only with a variable speed pump I would consider it. I actually had mine mounted loose with tissue wedged underneath it to one corner to force the output area to be nearly completely submerged. It was impossible to completely fill it and a sliver of air would always be left at the top. This small bubble would lead to some air being sucked in occasionally (micro bubbles is a great description), while not a big deal, is incredibly noisy and annoying to have to hear a loud wooshing sound every 3 minutes to 3 hours in an otherwise silent system.
