Tubes and Fittings

[AllaboutPC]

Soooooooooooooooooo

 

I am doing a liquid cooling build in a bit and I was wondering what fittings and tubes I should use with these parts:

Pump/Res:http://www.frozencpu.com/products/19627/ex-pmp-236/EK_DCP_22_X-RES_Pump_and_Reservoir_Combo_-_Acetal_-_Professionally_Installed.html?tl=g30c107s152#blank

Tubes:

Fittings:

Either:http://www.ekwb.com/shop/accessories/fittings/ek-csq-fitting-10-16mm-g1-4-black.html

Or:http://www.ekwb.com/shop/accessories/fittings/ek-csq-fitting-12-16mm-black.html

 

Oh, I need a 90 degree fitting: http://www.ekwb.com/shop/accessories/fittings/ek-psc-adapter-90-g1-4-black.html

would that work?

 

I am liquid cooling a 4770k in the corsair 350d with the maximus vi gene. What overclocking could I do?

 

Thank you in advance for replying!

PrimoChill LRT Advanced Tubing or MasterKleer tubing.

 

Use EK fittings if you just want cheap fittings that work and look good.

or the XSPC comps work quite well. shiny silver or black chrome.

XSPC also has updated to 45°/90° bases. LINKY

I was wondering what Fitting sizes I should use, any help for that?

[Ghost]

ID 3/8 OD 1/2

 

OR

 

ID 1/2 OD 3/4

 

It doesn't really matter tbh but those are the two most popular sizes.

Thanks!

So, this is the thing I came up with:

 

If that does not work, then click this: http://www.mediafire.com/view/dtd74vbz4sfhis9/350d_0003_Layer%2B7%2B0001.jpg

 

What do you think / what can I improve on?

 

Damnit... I spelled think wrong in the photo. :(

I doubt you can fit a HDD behind the back plate.

 

You can fill the res by using a tube and a funnel or simply pull the res out a little bit and leave some slack in your tubing so you can pull it out to fill it.

Thanks Ghost. I hope you help many more noobs in the future!

Most people go with 1/2 ID 3/4 OD since it gives great flow and it's pretty easy to work with. But for me, I think it's a bit too bulky, but that all depends on your style and tastes. Personally, I'd go with 3/8 ID and 5/8 OD. It still strong and allows good flow, but it's not as big as the normal 3/4OD. It's also widely available

i usually split the difference with a 7/16" x 5/8" tube..

can use a comp fitting or 1/2" barb
