Go to solution Solved by Ghost,

Thats what I have been doing :) But I have everything set for the Pump, Res, Rad and CPU Block but still what size fittings and tubing? 

 

Also, does this makes sense. Tubing going one from pump to cpu block, one from res to rad, one from rad to cpu block and thats it?

Yes it does make sense. I personally go with 3/8 1/2 tubing but it really doesn't make a difference. You will find a more complete answer in the watercooling FAQ but go with whatever size the fittings and tubing you want are available in. Once you pick a size you will probably stick with it for the rest the lifetime of the build as you will always have spare fittings or tubing in that size.

Never mind I can't use that reservoir and pump because I will have no where to mount it :(

I am not sure about all the fittings, but as for the tubing lengths just buy a roll of tubing, and when you assemble it you can cut it all to length.

You can mount it just in front of the front intake. Have a look at Singularity Computer's builds in the prodigy for inspiration.

Feel free to PM for any water-cooling questions. Check out my profile for more ways to contact me.

Also, does this makes sense. Tubing going one from pump to cpu block, one from res to rad, one from rad to cpu block and thats it?
