I need help watercooling my new build

[MeIsHere]

So I just bought a new PC with a i9-13900K and a MSI 6900 XT, and because I like to torture myself, I wanted to watercool it, even though it might not be necessary. I have most of the parts needed already, but I read I need corrosion inhibitors and biocide, and I don't know what i should get for it. So I'm here for some recommendations. Also I have no idea how many fittings I need. I don't know how to figure that out. 

 

Thanks all!

All the companies make their own fluid to run. Any of them can work.
As far as fittings go, you need a minimum of 2 per component. The rest comes down to how you want to route it, tubing used as well.

OK thanks for that. What you you mean by fluid?

Every watercooling fluid whether concentrate or pre diluted has enough corrosion inhibitor and biocide in them. Just don't use pure distilled water when possible, add a concentrate in atleast. But even then, i know people run pure distilled water all the time without a concentrate or treatment.

OK. So coolants. Is it only that, or do I also use water?

Depends if it’s concentrated or mixed already.
