Need a little help with custom loop

[Jertt]

I did linus tech tips computer desk build. My computer is a i7700k 16drr4 1080 ti.

 

water cooled parts

2 ekwb 360 rads

2 ekwb d5 pumps

2 EKWB EK-RES X3 400 Reservoir

 now the question I'm totally new to the pc water loop this is my first.

Do I need to run both pumps in this loop or is 1 find? I don't plan of adding anything else to loop.

 

what power supply watts should I run on my setup?

 

I need help with fittings I know I need g 1/4 thread but I have no idea on this or tubing. I'll be trying hard tubing and what kind of tubing sizes. I'm open to what sizes you all think I should use.

[Jertt]

also I need to know brands of fittings and tubing

2 pumps are generally run when you want redundancy, that way if one fails you aren't stuck waiting for a replacement before you can use your system again. Should be fine with one though

[Mick Naughty]

One pump will be fine. I’d run two just because of space and looks. 

 

Id do a quality 850 watt. 

 

Size of tube will be on you. Depends on how tight you need some bends which shouldn’t b much. 13mm od should be good. 

[Mick Naughty]

Plenty of brands for fitting and and tubing. 

 

Id and od need to match on both. So best to stick to matching brands. 

 

Check out performance PCs and looks around their site.

Yup, revolver fittings + the in house hard tube will work like a charm

[Jertt]
