Yup. the loop you've shown only contains 1 block and 1 radiator. I'm running 1 Cpu block, 2 GPU blocks, 3 240 rads and 1 360 rad on my single D5 pump. (Given a second would be nice for reduncancy..)

Wow nice. Thanks!

 

Btw, I'm buying 2 1080 blocks too, I didn't include it since it's not out yet

It releases tomorrow and should be up for order then.

 

You should have mentioned all the parts of your loop. In this case it doesn't matter. But cutting out 2/3 of the blocks a pump needs to push is a lot... blocks are usually the piece with most restrictive flow.

Well.. actually you will also need the 16mm OD hard tubing that goes with your compression fittings which isn't on your list

Oh my gosh I forgot the tubing again!! But yea I already have the PETG tubes from thermaltake, it's the Thermaltake V-Tubler PETG Tube 5/8” (16mm) OD 500mm 

 

So I can just connect the pump (ek xtop revo d5 pwn plexi) to the ek res x3?

regarding the pump and res yes, with the right fitting or with a piece of tube with fitting in each end.

 

The tubing you have should fit in theory, but best practice is to use fittings and tubings from same manufacturer due to manufacturing tolerances

Alright thanks! 

 

So that means I need tubings for every end (as you just said) for example 2 for each gpu and 2 for the cpu?

 

Sorry if I'm annoying since this is my first time watercooling 

[NoobCase]

yes and 2 fittings for each component as well. They all need water in and water out  Go find some you tube vids on hardline tubing and normal guides to water cooling to get a better visual impression. To be honest... You should have done that before doing this

 

Linus has done plenty of Beginenrs WC guides and jayz2cents has a few on doing hardline tubing.

[NoobCase]

actually the sticky in this forum is pretty usefull....

I'm afraid the Thermaltake V-Tubler PETG Tube 5/8 tubing you have is not going to fit well with the EK-HDC fitting...

Because 5/8 inches is not exactly 16mm. It's 15.875mm.

 

Like @NoobCase already mentioned. If you're using fittings from EK, it's safer to also use their tubing.

again.. pretty sure EK's 12 mm isn't actually 12 mm either but 11.8mm anyways.. Totally agree... use fittings and tubing from same vendor.

Alright thanks!!
