First custom loop

[Julius159]

Hello, I have been watching a lot of content on youtube about water cooling, and I have selected some parts from ekwb and I want to know if they fit do I need something more for the build. I will use i7-8700k maximus hero x 1070g1 in corsair carbide 275R, Corsair Carbide Tower Air 240 or  Corsair Crystal Series 460X, and I will use corsair fans on rads

Looks good, but how do you plan to integrate the drain port? usually you need a tsplitter and a male to male fiting.

the screw set is kind of redundant i think since if i recall correectly thr rads come with 5 mm screws. if you need more screws for push/pull they need to be e0 mm. 

 

The dual Female adaptor is also a bit weird choice with soft tubing imo since you will need 2 fittings to incoorportae it into the loop and itll probably be floppy. Maybe sketch out your idea? 

 

1l of fluid may not be quite enough so i would get another one just in case.

I was thinking something like that

i would have thought a couple of normal M-F 90 degree adaptors will be more than sufficient for soft tubing
