Copper Pipe Water Cooling

[GeoHandle]

So i'm building a pc and have just rewatched the copper tubing video. I thought it was interesting and my dads a plumber (easy access to parts and help) so i'm thinking I might give it a go. Just wanted to post on here and ask for advice or recommendations etc, maybe see if anyone mentions something I either don't know or end up forgetting. So any advice or recommendations are welcome.

ATM im still getting all the parts for the PC itself and have just had this idea so I don't have a list of parts for the cooling yet but here's the parts I have/am planning to get for the PC:

I might splash out and replace the Red Devil with a Liquid Devil, still undecided, so id welcome hearing opinions on that too.

And with Black Friday approaching and deals already appearing some of this may change if something better has a sufficient price drop.

Hello,

 

 

Your build looks good, you can have cheaper windows key via eBay and such for 10£.

Your PSU is overkill, 550 or 650w is enough.

Note that the H510 is not really great for airflow too.

Thanks for the tip about the windows key, completely forgot I could do that. The PSU is something I already have so I decided I might as well use it, and while the case isn't the best regarding airflow, I really like the look and can accept the air flow as long as it's good enough.

Oh I didn't notice it was purchased, my bad.

You can look at the H700 instead (100£) it's bigger with a better airflow (with the money better spent for Windows).

I saw this literally just after ordering the H510, but I think i'll take the savings and put them towards somethings else anyway, the liquid devil maybe?

Good choice look at @Den-Fi build in the build log, he used it and it looks really good.
