Custom Loop - Double checking parts

DocShay · October 12, 2016

Hey,

So i've decided to move my current hardware from my in-desk PC that I built, into a wall-mounted Lian Li PC-07s. I'm not upgrading any hardware at the time, so the cost is just case + watercooling parts. This will be my first venture into water cooling, and figured getting some feedback on parts before buying would be a good idea.

Case: Lian Li PC-07S (Looks like, and i've been told it is a tough case to do watercooling - but i'm always up for a challenge.)

CPU Block: XSPC Raystorm PRO - Best looking (IMO) and has excellent preformance from what I have read

GPU Block: N/A (Leaving my 980ti STRIX on air for now, as I'm not sure how long I will hold on to it. I will likely have my next card put on water from the get go

Radiator: BLACK ICE NEMESIS 360GTS U-FLO (Can't fit the X-Flo, not a big deal. Went for this based on performance reviews of slimline rads, this came out very high. With not much rad/fan space - I feel this is my best option)

Tubing: Primochill 1/2" PETG (I bought a 12-pack of 36" - Hopefully more then enough.)

Fittings: Primochill RevolverSX - Purple, 12 pack

Res/Pump: EK-XRES 140 REVO D5 PWM (INCL. PUMP) - I'm pretty sure the 140 will fit, if not will have to go down to a 100.

Pre-clean: Mayhems Blitz Kit

Liquid: Mayhems Pastel White Concentrate

Dye: Mayhems blue & green (Planning to mix roughly 2:1 blue/green into the white concentrate for a turquoise color

Fans: Still undecided, I like Noctua but I have a feeling I will go with EKWB Vardars.

Thoughts? Questions, Comments?

Also, my hardware specs for anyone interested - i5 6500k, asus hero viii, 32gb ddr4 corsair vengeance lpx, asus 980ti strix

Tubing.

Is the 1/2 inch ID or OD?

I have an xspc cpu block and I think the maximum size fitting it can use is 3/8 ID and 5/8 OD. I DONT think it can use 1/2 inch ID 3/4 inch OD fittings.

I'm led to believe that it is OD since it is rigid tubing.(I believe I have read ID does not apply to rigid) Performance PC specs page for the fittings also confirms this.
