I wanna build a beast EKwb PC (about 2200Dolurz, so I wanna keep the price of EKWB as low as possible) but I have a 125ml pump/reservoir combo, a slim quad 180ml rad( quad cuz in thermaltake p5 it is ideal) and about1-2 m of tubing(I wanna cool only cpu)
but the question is: I wanna have tubes and reservoir filled cuz it looks great, but EK reccomends only 100ml coolant, but with only 100 ml I think it wouldn't be enough to fill it.
Should I get the 100ml or 900ml or use distilled water?
pls halp me m8s.
thanks in advance.

UPDATE: I wanna 9,5/12.7mm tubing.

first, distilled water is perfectly fine if thats what you want to use. theres no real performance improvement to a premix coolant, they just come with the corrosion inhibitor and biocide already added usually. i dont know where this recommendation you talk of is, but you'll need enough fluid to fill everything.
