Heres the build I'm using to build the water system on. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2gyoV

I want to know if these water cooling parts are good for my build.

XSPC AX240 Dual 120mm Radiator w/ Aluminum Enclosure - White

XSPC RayStorm High Performance Acetal CPU Liquid Cooling Block

XSPC Photon 270 Tube Glass Cylinder Reservoir

XSPC D5 Vario Pump Motor w/ Mount Ring - Single Edition

XSPC Laing D5 / MCP655 POM Replacement Top

PrimoChill PrimoFlex Advanced LRT Tubing 1/2"ID x 3/4" OD - 10ft Retail Pack - Clear (PFLEXA10-34)

x8 XSPC G1/4" Thread 1/2" ID x 3/4" OD Low Profile Compression Fitting - Black Chrome

x2 XSPC 2 x 120mm Radiator Gasket - 3mm

what fans should I get?

Also do i need any more fittings or angle fittings?

Also am I missing anything else? Anything at all that you think I would need

Ah wait, you only want to watercool your CPU, right?
In that case a 240 rad should be enough. I thought you meant to watercool your GPU, too.
My mistake. ;)




I was talking about the liquid temperature which you can´t read from windows. Not without a temperature sensor integrated in your loop.
You can get one or...

I´d probably go with a larger rad or a second one.

As you know, you can build pretty much anything in your loop. So, just some thoughts on those little extras:
- Extra drain port
- Monitoring parts for temp and flow

Yea I wanted to go with a larger rad, but 360 doesn't fit inside my rig. So all I'm getting is a 240, I'm trying to figure out a way to add another rad, but I dont want to use a spot where my intakes or exhaust are because then I'd be screwing with the airflow of my case.

Do I need to get shrouds? If I do can you point me to some.

Also how would I go about monitoring temps? I was gonna do it from windows, but if there is a way to do it externally then that would be good.

Oh I see, I've heard that the silverstone ap series is pretty good. The question is would I be able to use them together. I'm a little worried if i buy them and they dont fit together. I read on the water cooling sticky on the site that fans have different threading then rads. The rad I would be using has a 6-32, but I can't find any where saying what threading the screws for the silverstone ap series are.

You can get one or more temperature sensors and flow sensors that you can integrate into your loop. You then connect those either to an display you can mount in an 5.25 bay or you connect them to a piece of hardware which lets you read out the temperatures...and do a lot more stuff. Or you can of course do both.
The one most people use seem to be the aquaero. But I bet there are more brands out there.








IMO mounting the fans to a rad isn´t the problem since the spacing between the holes is the same for almost all fans of the same size.
The problem is mounting the rad to your case since not all rad companies use the same spacing between the inner mounting holes.

Can you build me a water cooling build, that would be as good as or better then the build i already have. with the thing to monitor the temps, i would like to have to in the 5.25 bay. I would also like compression fittings in the build if thats possible
