New water cooling loop

[BiscuitMasta]

Recently I purchased a gtx 780 Poseidon with intent to water cool down the road to get its full worth. With the release of the new H220-X I purchased it and decided to start a loop. I need some help with choices of parts fittings tubing Etc. Any help is appreciated.

so are you asking what you'll need for a water cooling loop with those parts?

Yes And should I try to add another rad in the front of the case?

You're going to need two G1/4 3/8" fittings for the GPU, and two more for the second rad.

the tubing is 5/8" by 3/8"

 

you're also going to need more coolant. you can use distilled water or a cooling liquid from a reputable company

Thanks, I have a couple of gallons of distilled water ready load up.

Do you think another 240 or could it handle a 280? If so which rad would you recommend?

while the h220x is made to be expanded, i wouldn't add more than a 240mm for safety's sake.

 

Any full copper radiator and fittings would be the best option to prevent corrosion.

Don't use the Poseidon waterblock... It doesn't cool the VRM's. I know it sounds stupid to buy a waterblock for it, but you won't regret it.

think I should use this for precaution?

How much will a good water block run me?

that tubing isn't going to be the right size. look for 5/8" x 3/8" tubing like this

 

otherwise everything looks good from here.
