I finished putting my loop together but I would like a straight run from the pump to the front radiator. I was going to install a rotary fitting on either end but I've read that quite a few people experience leaking with those. Does anyone have recommendations for fittings that will work that aren't known to leak? Also, how often should the orings be replaced on fittings? Does everyone do it each time the loop is drained?

Nice loop and color co-ordination! XSPC Raysotrm Pro FTW ;)

Regarding the O-Ring replacement, if they're installed the right way and aren't damaged when you remove and tighten them after your maintenance run then never in their lifetime. It's only abuse to the O-Rings that causes them to deteriorate.

Since you've gone for a pretty overall build with XSPC fittings, I'd suggest sticking to XSPC angled fittings since the color will be in accordance to the fittings your using+the aesthetics+would be cheaper than say Bitspower which also tends to have colors that don't match other brands colors.

Mind sharing the specs for you loop+build? Like that res and block combo!

Looks sweet! Also, I have 6 Rotary fittings in my system and have had 0 issues for the better part of 2 years. JayZtwocents also has used them and recommends them in a few videos.
Yeah, just go to PerformancePCs and search for a fitting that fits your loop/tube size.

Thank you for your response. The resevoir is made by MMRS. You can customize it and put it together yourself or have performance pc build it for you. It was pricey but it's good quality. For the blocks I went with EK-FC980 GTX Ti WF3 on the GPU and the XSPC RayStorm Pro

I wish I had gone with a DDR4, I7-6700k build when I made it last year but oh well! Here's the parts list minus the hue+.

Thanks everyone for the compliments and helpfulness!

Thank you, when I drain it I will switch to some rotary fittings. The JayZtwoCents and LinusTechTips videos were very helpful in building the loop. Glad to hear you haven't had any issues with rotary fittings.
