Questions! :D

Alright, so I have an i7-4790k, a r9 390x, and an nzxt h440. I just wanted to know if the parts I have chosen to cool my CPU and gpu will work. I was planning on going with a 240mm and a 360mm rad. Please tell me if these parts are compatible!

First off, ekwb says that the 290x block/ backplate is compatible with the xfx 390x double dissipation, which is what I have.

GPU backplate: https://shop.ekwb.com/ek-fc-r9-290x-backplate-black

Pump: https://shop.ekwb.com/ek-dcp-2-2-12v-dc-pump

Reservoir: https://shop.ekwb.com/ek-res-x3-150

3600mm rad: https://shop.ekwb.com/ek-coolstream-pe-360-triple

240mm rad: https://shop.ekwb.com/ek-coolstream-pe-240-dual

Tubing: https://shop.ekwb.com/tube-primochill-primoflextm-advanced-lrttm-12-7-19-1-mm-onyx-black

Fitting: https://shop.ekwb.com/ek-acf-fitting-13-19mm-nickel

Questions now:

1. Are all of these parts compatible? If not please tell me which one and a replacement for them.

2. How many fittings do I need? Are these the only fittings I need?

3. How many meters of tubing should I get?

Thank you for reading this far, the main thing I need help on are fittings.

THANKS SO MUCH IF YOU HELPED ^•^

That should work fine. 

 

Draw out your loop on a piece of paper, this should help you visualise how many fittings you will need

 

Always get 3x as much tubing as you think you need, because you need a lot more than you think

You need them for every connection between tube and block/rad/pump/res, JayzTwoCents on Youtube has some great water cooling advice.

@BeakTrots Personally I have used that pump and I would suggest you get a better pump since you want to water cool those 2 things. I think that pump is only good for a single rad and block setup

Alright, what would you recommend for the same price or cheaper? This pump fits exactly in my 2000 dollar budget :/

I'd recommend a DDC or D5 pump is which is the gold standard in terms of watercooling pumps.

 

For fittings it's almost always 2 fittings per component.
