PC Specs 

B350 mortar Arctic

Ryzen 5 1400

16gb 2400mhz DDR4

6gb 1060

PSU: Cougar STE 500w

 

I'm waiting to upgrade the PC later.

 

Just some question

How much air can be left in the loop?

How do I minimize air?

Should I build the loop out of the PC, test, then install and test again or just install from the get go?

Anything tips that you'll only learn during installation?

Well because it looks cool...

I knew I should of explained that lol. I'm doing a lot better financially then when I build that. I'm waiting for 4000 series and B550 series mobo's.to come out. It's also a great PC to practice with.

the 4000 set make sense but no reason to get a b550 board if you going a high end chip to water cool it. spend the extra on an x570

just double check all the fittings are the right size otherwise looks like nothing forgotten

you likely don't need the fan controller

Only pure white mobo's are made by MSI and is BX50 series, so unless something else comes out. I'm moving to an almost all white build.

I needed the fan controller because the fans can't daisy chain and I will run out of fan headers.

never mind they stopped but older tuf boards use to have "armor" that was a plastic cover over much of the board

Well most of the links are broke so I cant be sure of much.

I wouldn't build it out side unless you have the time and material two build the loop twice.

No idea how much are can be in the look as the whole point is the full the loop with a liquid. 

So using the disro plate should show you how much air is left if used properly. Turn the pump to max, tilt the case around and fill as needed. 

I assuming youre not cooling the card as no block was listed.
