Custom loop build

[Grok]

Hello. I wanted to verify custom loop that I am planning. Without further ado here's the parts list.

 

GPU block: https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-fc-1080-gtx-ti-acetal-nickel
CPU block: https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-supremacy-evo-acetal-nickel
Fittings: https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-acf-fitting-10-13mm-red
Pump: https://www.morele.net/laing-ddc-1t-12v-6500023-571704/
Radiator: https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-coolstream-pe-360-triple

Tubing: https://www.bitspower.com.tw/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=172_241&products_id=3556

Fans: http://noctua.at/en/nf-f12-pwm.html

Coolant/Dye: https://mayhems.co.uk/coolants/aurora/aurora-concentrate/aurora-red-250ml/

 

I am not sure about the tubing and on the fence with radiators. I would like something that performs well with low RPM fans. I would prefer XSPC one because it's cheaper however it has less fins. Not sure how this affects performance in reality (and if it's meaningful).

As for PC hardware I have 6700k, Gigabyte 1080 Ti FE and Fractal Design Define S Window.

 

If you have any suggestions for hardware doing the same for less money please leave it here.  Couple of things is a must however: black-red theme and compression fittings. I am mostly going for silence since performance is pretty much guaranteed with water cooling.

Maybe @W-L can help you.

Fans are good, so are radiators and you have a good CPU block/GPU block.  

 

Consider swapping to better fittings

Any recommendations?

Fittings are probably fine. EK makes good stuff and if it matches your color scheme, just go for it.

The two 360 rads for a CPU and GPU block will give you plenty of overkill radiator space. You'll be seeing some nice low temps there.

And at 19 FPI, you should be able to run low RPM fans for quiet operation while still maintaining performance.

 

Might I suggest you consider a D5 pump instead of a DDC.

The D5 can than handle all those components and plenty more while running quieter than a DDC will.

I'll just leave this here..

 

"Aurora is "NOT" made for use in a home system. It has been developed for show System's (modding) and Photo work. If looking for a fluid for a Home system / Gaming system please use Mayhems X1 or Mayhems Pastel range of fluids there are fully tested and working in any kind of loop."

 

Also, I'd suggest going for a D5 too.

Cool. Thanks.  I did not see this info on Aurora webpage somehow. That's shame because I really like this "shampoo" looks.

I wanted to stick with one of those. However I am not sure which one to choose. EK has more FPI but is a bit more expensive. I am not sure how big of a difference it will make when compared to the one from XSPC.

That looks to be a good combo, there are a few things I would change, such as said a D5 is a better option over the DDC, including the fluid as it doesn't last long term. If your wanting to go for silence, getting a lower FPI rad can help as it doesn't require the fans to spin as fast to force the air through the rad. Alphacool has some good options for lower FPI rads. 

 

Also you have the wrong fittings and tubings, if your going for hardline you want hardline compression fittings currently you have soft tubing fittings and Bitspower crystal link.
