About How Much Coolant do I Need?

[QuickShow]

Hi there

My parts are arriving one after another so I might just get ready to build the loop. But looking at these parts I'm still not sure how much coolant do I need to fill up the loop.

Parts & Order:

MCP 655 ---> EK HF CPU block ---> HWL Black Ice Pro 120mm * 25mm ---> EK GTX570 FC GPU Block ---> EK GTX570 FC GPU Block ---> EK GTX570 FC GPU Block ---> NexXxoS UT60 480mm * 60mm --->Coolplex Pro 10 LT - 100mm

Tubing is 10 feet long, 1/2" ID, 5/8" OD, all used up.

Any advice welcomed.

You don't need any coolant at all.

You need distilled water and some biocide and/or a killcoil.

A gallon of distilled water is pretty cheap and will be way more than enough.

ya you wana go distilled. i dont know how much research you did, but everywhere you look they say if you want color get colored tubing.

I don't know why you'd want to use any coolants- distilled water performs the best, anyway.
