My Water cooling Parts list

[belezeebub]

Well I put together a list of parts to build a dual loop system wanted to get some feedback before I place the order all fittings are 1/2" ID Koolance Compression Fittings did I grab any bad items or items that are not worth the scrap metal they are made out of?

I'd do it as one loop myself, a 360 each for the cards and maybe a 240 for the Cpu but all in one loop, other than that I don't see anything wrong here,
I'm assuming you are using Distilled water for coolant so its all green light from me
as I mentioned in your other thread over in Cpu/components, go over the W/c sticky a lot and glean what you can, and feel free to ask us for anything you are unsure of before you spend the cash

There are alot of them without links, might want to provide the links to your parts
What caught my eye was that you only chose a pair of fittings(2) any chance the rest are free with hardware ? Since I count 14 fittings necessary for your loop construction. Well also taking note that the pump top won't come with fittings.

With any pump top you choose you'll have both pumps running in series not individually, thus leading us to believe you're going for a single loop instead of your stated dual loop.

I second Moto's point; running it as a single loop would also give you the benefit of having 2 pumps giving you some insurance should one decide to stop working.

I like Tygon tubing, but only in the laboratories I work in. It's more geared towards gases and directing liquids intermittently, rather than being used in a cycle where it's constantly in contact with coolant.

I'd go for PrimoChill Advanced LRT.

 

[belezeebub]

I have enough fittings just didn't list them all and I disigned it as dual loop like so

Loop 1 200MM res -> Pump -> CPU Block -> 120MM.3
Loop 2 200MM Res -> Pump -> GPU1 to GPU2 -> 120mm.3

Some people have suggested something link this

Suggested Loop Radi1 -> 200MM Res -> Pump1 -> CPU1 -> Radi2 -> 200MM Res -> pump2 -> GPU1 -> GPU2
