Hi friends,

After many years of fighting the urge, I finally decided to go for a liquid cooling loop and this will be the first time I'll do it. I tried reading a lot of things on the internet, regarding what's needed and stuff. Since I live in Turkey my resources are a little bit restricted when it comes to what I can order and what I can't. I saw that ekwb was shipping to Turkey so I decided to go for it. Here is my current shopping cart. I will be cooling my cpu and a single cpu in one loop. Fans will be added later, will order separate noctuas. Can someone tell me if this kit is ok, or if it is missing something? I'm also open and looking forward to any and all advice.

Thanks a lot!

By silver I meant a pure silver coil like this http://www.amazon.com/Silver-Coils-Antimicrobial-999-Strip/dp/B00A66HMRC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1435197928&sr=8-1&keywords=kill+coil and yes it's a biocide. You can also use G1/4 silver plugs if there is no space in your loop, but I've heard mixed things about the plugs.

A lot of bottled water is not distilled. You want to avoid the mineral build-up caused by "hard" water so you use distilled. Usually most stores supply distilled water very cheap, you just want to make sure it doesn't have any minerals added.

I don't think they sell silver, so I'm buying it for anti-biological purposes, i think?

PS: Bottled water should do fine as distilled water right? :)
