Solution
parts all look fine, for your coolant, just use distilled water, i think it's 750ml to 250ml of dye. Or use some of mayhems ultra pure h20 and use the dye with that

Why not, yea he doesn't really know much about watercooling, but you gotta start somewhere, and there's no real reason not to. I say thumbs up to you for giving it a go.

I agree. I was just a bit shocked about doing hardline. I'am doing my first custom loop on the 26th and I was going to do hardline, but it costs abit more due to needing tools and having to get all of the right fittings.
