Noob kindly asks for help with custom loop (not sure what fittings I might need)

[lukx]

I'm totally green regarding custom loops so I'm not sure especially about fitting I might need.

Here's what I put together so far (I have Asus Zenith II and Threadripper 3970X in Lian pc-o11dynamic xl rog case.

I want to cool only CPU with water. I want the best of the best so price doesn't matter and this is it:

 

CPU Block: Aquacomputer Cuplex kryos NEXT VARIO with VISION TR4, PVD/.925 silver

Radiator: HardwareLabs The Black Ice® NEMESIS® GTR™ 360

Pump and Reservoir:Singularity Protium 150 D5/Reservoir Combo Acrylic

Tubing: inner 3/8" outer 5/8'" - PrimoChill LRT

Fittings: Bitspower but no idea what I need, what kind, how many !!!

 

Enything else I might need?

well, you need 2 fittings on the CPU, 2 on the pump and 2 on your radiator. so that makes 6 already, and that's the absolute bare minimum.

you might also want some 90's and 45's to clean up the way you route your tubing, and you should also include a valve to empty the loop. it is possible to build a loop without one, but i can tell you from experience that it makes emptying the loop much easier. 

 

what is the loop layout you want?

Here's my setup right now. I was thinking about placing radiator with fans and reservoir in the same place right now I have kraken rad but Nemesis is much thicker so It won't fit there I'm afraid. So bottom or top, I think bottom will get more cooler air so it would be better but then it will heat up GPU :(. So not sure...

Also maybe the radiator I choose is overkill I read it might get very loud... 

I want things to run as cool as possible and i dont plan to overclock!

what about this kind of layout

That setup will work some will say the rad fittings being on the bottom will make it very hard to bleed but as I see it there will always be one half of the rad that needs to flow against gravity. Also don't forget to account for your pump/res since the cpu block doesn't have a pump like the AIO. Also you need a minimum of 2 fittings per water cooling item an inlet and an outlet. You may want to consider a drain port as mentioned but if you make the reservoir easily removable you could technically get away without a drain/fill port.
