In-decisive

[Lays]

I'm looking at buying some of the fittings I need for my loop, but I can't decide for the life of me what color, which brand, or what.

 

If at all possible post links to your faves/what you'd recommend, since my stupid-self can't decide on what I like lol

 

 

Size: 3/8 id 5/8 od

 

Also I'm using blue-berry mayhem's concentrated coolant if it helps.

 

I just got my money from selling my haf x on ebay so I was gonna buy either the pump or fittings tonight if I can

I think this Thursday I may have enough of the money to finish buying everything (1 more 480 rad, 1 more gpu block, fittings+ pump + 4 fans)

[legopc]

the only advice i can give is buy the once that you think look the best

Bitspower. Black Sparkle fittings go nicely with any system if you can get them.

I saw a video on... teksyndicate/razethew0rld's channel where they had white fittings I think.. But I have no idea what they were called or what video it was on >.<

 

I like the black sparckle ones, should I buy everything but the fittings and then lay it all out and see which fittings etc I need? Or should I just make a diagram in paint, and do it that way?

 

First time doing all this crap just trying to over-prepare as best as I can lol

 

edit: nvm I think it was oc3d tv on his orca project

Yeah, it was OC3D, the white ones are the best looking fittings in my opinion. You shouldn't need to buy everything but the fittings to figure out where to place everything. Take a nice picture of the inside of your rig, get it scaled(make sure you know the size of everything) import the picture into paint then start drawing up ideas of where you think everything can go. Or you could go down the professional route and do some 3D renderings of your system like all the cool kids do

Try monsoon fittings.

 

For the colours, pick fittings that either blend in or clash with your blocks.

I'm not that software-rily inclined yet, going to college to learn how to do all that stuff :]. Do you know where to get those white ones? I can't find them on pc-perf/ frozen cpu :3

 

 

 

But yeah that should be somewhat easy to piece together, @Ghost monsoon fittings still have compressions etc right?  I was looking at some awhile back, I believe they had some white+blue ones that looked REALLY nice, but were a bit more spendy than the other alternatives.

[airdeano]

try sidewinders, too.

One thing that I have learned about water cooling is......

 

You can never do enough planning!

 

Plan for months.......Buy once!

Yeah they do. They are premium fittings but they do look good and come in most colours you could want.

Just don't use the tool provided (or use it with extreme caution) if you go for them. Use it for unscrewing. Not screwing in. Fittings aren't like normal screws. They have an o-ring in them so if you screw them in too tight they become almost impossible to unscrew and if you over-tighten the compression part you can damage the tubing and cause a leak.

This pump will just have threads in it for g 1/4 fittings right? (it says they've tapped them I just want to be sure before i buy) Gonna buy it now if so, make it a bit nicer looking with some monsoons on it

Don't, get a pump top for the love of god lol

[Lays]

Don't, get a pump top for the love of god lol

 

 

what?

[Focux]

what?

A pump top for ur pump. Personally, I'd use 1/2 by 3/4 tubing as ur 900D is very large and would make 3/8's 5/8's look like straws. Just my opinion.

where on earth did I say i was getting one of those?

 

and there 3/8 5/8 doesn't look small to me, yes the 900D is huge, but It should be fine, I believe the h100i has 3/8 tubing? it doesn't really look all that bad, and thats just 2 short tubes.
