Watercooling help

[xDylanio]

I'm going to buy the ek-kit x360, but I have a few questions before.

1) Can I add an extra radiator to it. Like get the whole kit, but once it gets home add an extra radiator to it.
2) Can I change the tubing to a red colored tubing. 

 a) if so can you recommend me one that fits the kit.
3) Is there a dye I can buy here to change the color of the water?

1. Yes you can add another radiator, but you would need extra fittings

2. You can change it, as in you buy separate tubing that is red

3. You can dye your water. There are a lot of people who might say that coloring your water isn't the best for you, but there are also a lot of people who disagree with that. So long story short, yes.

Thanks so much for your reply, I honestly appreciate it a ton

1) Okay I was thinking of a loop sort of like this

Resevoir to pump to radiator 1 to gpu to radiator 2 to cpu to reservoir. How does that sound?

3) Can you suggest any dye things? (red please)

so rad 1 goes to the cpu from the top rad mount then that water goes through a rad on the back of the case, then to the gpu, then to the pump?

That loop sounds good. You can buy straight up red coolant that you don't need to dye like this: https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-ekoolant-evo-blood-red-premix-1l 

Also for red tubing you can get something like this: https://www.ekwb.com/shop/tube-primochill-primoflextm-advanced-lrttm-12-7-9-5mm-bloodshed-red-retail-3m

But you really only need one or the other. It would be redundant to have red on red.

The loop order doesn't matter really as the fluid moves around the loop so fast, personally I would recommend the P360 kit since it has the better D5 pump. 

 

As for dyes or colored fluids Mayhems would be one of the best out there, for transparent fluid their X1 series would be perfect.

rad 1 (front) goes to gpu, from gpu it goes to rad #2, from rad #2 it goes to cpu, then reservoir and pump

Yes, I just finished a kit on ekwb for $830. I'm pretty happy with the selection.

Well I have completed the research for the watercooling loop. Now I just ask for which one I should buy.

 

For #1 we have the ekwb kit x360. If I do get this ill add a gpu block and an extra radiator. ( https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-kit-x360 )

 

For #2 we have a custom loop I designed to fit my pc needs.

That custom loop is very very expensive, the kit is so much cheaper.

For the second option you might also want a bracket to mount the pump.

Yea but I will most likely be doing extreme overclocking

Depends on where you want to mount your pump. You have the Phanteks Enthoo Pro? If 'm correct you have space at the bottom for 2 120mm fans, or 1 140mm fan where you could mount the bracket.

 

So each one should do.

I would probably go with this one. https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-uni-pump-bracket-120mm-fan-vertical
