See the thing is is that i have read all of those stickys on water cooling and Noob question ahead: Would i have to change my barbs to get the 3/4x1/2?
thanks

 

[amuffin]

Yes.

They look nicer and provide slightly higher flow rate.

 

[BlackCinders]

Hows this radiator im on a tight budget and i still gotta look at the tubing you suggested anyways heres the radiator.

Preferably this is the website i want.

 

[BlackCinders]

Also is that universal GPU block any good? That is the only one i could find that was a good price for my GPU the 6850.

 

[amuffin]

It's good!

Also, you don't need to even cool the 6850, it's essentially pointless.

Why not an XSPC Raystorm?

You also need 3 120mm fans!

 

[BlackCinders]

Im just going with it for looks im eventually gonna get tri monitors and get another graphics card. About the fans i already have that covered with 3 blue led cooler master fans. What tubing did you recommend can i get a link from that website? Thanks

 

[amuffin]

Another graphics card won't help you, the 6850 isn't that high end of a card ;P

 

[BlackCinders]

I know i was gonna sell the 6850 and my H100 later and use the money for a GTX 670 or 660 . So what tubing did you reccomend? I mean brand wise.

 

[amuffin]

This is what I use, and what I recommend:

[BlackCinders]

Are you cooling your GPU also? It looks like from the CPU it is going back to your Res.

 

[BlackCinders]

Let me repost my edited Cart.

Nope, 550ti's don't need watercooling

 

[BlackCinders]

Can you help me on this site when i select my item say the EK Spinner Black Res at the bottom it says to select Fitting size. I select the 1/2 ID barb and its an extra 4.00$ are you paying for the barbs or a certain res size?

 

[BlackCinders]

I also scrapped the GPU block so i could afford a better pump youll see

I think you're spending too much on a fan controller.

Are you going to use distilled water and a kill coil?

Why UV tubing? Do you have any UV lights?

 

[BlackCinders]

Yes i have UV cold cathodes. What fan controller do you reccomend then? ive had alot of trouble with aerocool.

 

[amuffin]

NZXT Sentrey 2.

Make sure you have enough fittings.

What are you going in terms of fluids? The best setup is distilled water and a silver kill coil.

Do you have fans?

[amuffin]

[BlackCinders]
