First liquid cooling setup help !

The-youri
Go to solution Solved by Peopie,

i mean the fittings are they going to fit in the rads and cpu/gpu block and isn't the ek ddc 3.25 x-res 140  strong enough ?

that pump is more than strong enough for your system, but if silence is your goal, then you may want to reconsider your pump before it is too late

so i'm planning to build my first liquid cooling 

and i need some help ! 

the case im going to use is the corsair air 240

  • Feser tfc f1 racing fitting 45 degree
  •  
  • koolance 13mm quick disconnect

  •  
  • ek ddc 3.25 x-res 140 ( res + pump )

I'm not too familiar with the Air 240, so I'm not sure if it will fit or not, but as far as your pump, are you sure you want a DDC pump? I would say you should get a D5 instead, mostly because the DDC has a high pitched whine, whereas the D5 does not.

If you want a powerful and quiet pump go for a D5 pump with a variable speed dial on the back. If you want more inlet and outlet options for it go with a pump top for EK, bitspower etc
