Am I missing anything?

I will be doing my first custom loop build soon, and I want to make sure that it will all function and work well.

 

I have two loops, one is just for show with some mayhems aurora and is only the res, pump, and tubing.

 

The other loop has 2 Titan blacks and the CPU, along with a 480 rad and a 140 rad.

Dont.. I repeat DONT use Aurora coolant!

 

Even mayhems say themselves that you should only use it for a very short time and only for "photo shoots".

It settles and sticks to everything inside you loop. Possibly damaging your RAD+Pump.

Also Mayhems tell you not to use it with Primoflex as it reacts (turning the tubing green) It also sticks and turns anyother types of tubing white.

 

Go with normal Coolant (there pastel cooling is fine).

For my loop that is actually cooling it is using the pastel coloring, the aurora is in a separate loop that is only for show, and is completely separate from the actual cooling loop. I will also switch the tubing for that loop to prevent the color change.

It will still settle after you turn the pump off.

I understand everything that it will do, and it will only be a used loop when I am at a LAN party or showing off the rig, otherwise it will be empty and with the loop drained and pump un-plugged.

It is tiny, but yes, I know that that is a waste of money, but I like it.

I was actually planning on doing the same for a custom case I am designing.

Yeah, I have seen others who have done it, and I personally don't have to pay for this computer, so I feel like I can do that for a little extra show.

I don't understand this loop, why do you want to get two CPU blocks? What is a "show loop"?

It is litterally a tube res, some clear tubing, and a pump, just to make it look like the system runs on aurora.

 

The second CPU block is an accident
