Hi folks!
I was wondering if there are any water-cooling experts out there who can help me get some good parts for my first time custom water loop. It is to cool an i5 4690k on a mini-ITX motherboard housed in the Fractal Design Define Nano S case. I won't cool my graphics card for now since I am going to get a GTX 1070 in the near future and don't wanna tamper with my card since I will probably sell it. However I do want to water cool my CPU primarily for silence, aesthetics, and temperatures. If there is a waterblock out there for a reasonable price for the 1070 then I wil probably upgrade my loop to cool my GPU in the future. For now though I want to cool my CPU first since I only have the Cooler Master 212 Hyper EVO and want to do some overclocking.
Here are the components I was going to get but I don't know what tubing or coolant to use. I am going with a red theme so I want red coolant if possible or just red tubing but I would prefer translucent tubing. I saw an add by the YouTubers JayzTwoCents and Bitwit who both did a hardline tubing water loop in the same case I got so I kind of want to go hardline but am wary of getting the wrong sizes, etc.
What dimensions do I need for the tubing and what fittings do I need or will they be provided? I already have two 140mm fans as intake at the front of my case that I will use for this loop. Here are the rest of the parts:
BQLZR Universal Computer CPU Water Cooling Block Head with Radiator and Fast Twist Connector 50x50mm Copper Base Cool Inner Channel
BQLZR 240mm Multifunction CPU Water Cool SystemAluminum Heat Exchanger Computer Radiator
Yosoo 500L/H 10W DC12V CPU Cooling Heat Exchanger Water Pump Tank CO2 Cooler
That's for the CPU waterblock, pump, reservoir, and radiator. My case can support two 240mm radiators so I will have one for the CPU and later one for the GPU. I am migrating to SSD's and can have them at the back of my case so no need to put hard drives inside the case where the tubing will go instead. Cause there's only room to mount the pump and reservoir but no hard drives in the front compartment of the case.
Any advice and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance!!
