If your going with PETG go with mayhems X1 or the Pastel series over the EVO as both of those aren't ethylene glycol based which isn't best recommended for PETG. 

going with mayhem's pastel fluids, i can't decide what colour? what do you think would look good into my build?

Pastel white or pastel red or any other colours that would match my black and red colour scheme?

I think both would work personally I use pastel white and it works quite well, oil black as mentioned also would look quite good I think with some minor red accents.

Ah good to know

 i'm waiting for my paycheck next week aswell to order all the parts i'm so exited to build this loop.

btw there is a smaller version of the res i am going to use wich is 15cm tall 150ml but why not go as the same one i'm gonna use it's 19cm tall? and i think it looks better with a bigger reservoir 

saw u on the nzxt s340 club on overlock.net some sick custom loop builds there

I've gone for a 135mm tall reservoir from barrow, £61 for the reservoir, pump housing and pump top. 

 

I'll split the installation reservoir so it is mounted on the cable bar above the GPU and then the pump can go on the bottom below the GPU. There should be JUST enough space for it all!

 

Ended up ordering some stuff on credit card hehe.

 

I had the day off on Tuesday but it was raining all day so didn't get a chance to spray paint the radiators like i was planning :-(

Looks good

All of my parts arrived friday, i just hope that i have the time to put everything together this week, my 120mm rad won't fit in the back due to clearance issues of the motherboard shroud, so i think i'm gonna mod it to fit on top of the case.

Oh just one thing is that PETG tubing your using, if so the Evo series of fluid isn't recommended for PETG as it's ethylene glycol based something else like Mayhems X1 which is glycerol based would be a best.

Omg i totally forgot about it, i am looking for mayhems pastel perfect pink, but they are not in stock in my country, will it be okay to run the loop with distilled water untill i can get my hands on mayhems?

I can get my hands on mayhems pastel green, or lime green would the colour fit with my black and red sleeved cables? (probably gonna remove the red cable bar)

I really want the coolant to pop out

You can always paint the cable cover to match, they do have the X1 series if your wanting a transparent fluid.

Nice work!

 

how long did it take to put together?

 

my parts should all be arriving this week, but not sure when I'll have time to start bending tubes and stuff. 

 

Oh oh also sort out the cables at the back so we can't see them ;-)

Sorry dude...  But you failed all the bends..  They are all crooked.  Did you forget to use a silikone insert when bending to prevent them from kinking like they have now?

Hey man 

I did use a silicon insert but rlly not all my bends are crooked, the one going from the rad into the cpu isnt good i aggree with u on that, the reason why i had kinks in some of them is because the heat gun i used was not blowing warm air ar at steady 100% the bends with kinka are going to be replaced once i have the time for it (i dont have time and i needed the pc ?)

The temps are amazing so im happy for now
