i am hoping i can go water on my next build so i quickly through this together

(all from performance-pcs)
1/2 in. system, A64 based

TDX, got the extra nozzles
Acetal Maze 4
Thermochill HE120.3
Swifty MCP655
DD round res.
Tygon 3603 1/2 in. tubing
HydrX
625 coolsleeves (wrong kind?)
3x Panaflo H1's

total, $417.97

price seems a little high and no shroud for the rad + no clamps. i wanna buy the stuff all from one place.

sounds good but u dont need coolsleeves with that tygon.

thanks maxx

are plastic clamps ok or should i definately opt for steel ones? also where could i get a shroud for the thermochill?

[MaxxxRacer]

new thermochills come with a shroud. contact the retailer to make sure they are the new revision of the radiator with the larger shrouds built in.

plastic clamps are ok but the metal ones are bettter. ive been using the plastic ones and found them to leak at times.

thanks again maxx

i think i can answer the rest of my questions just by reading around :)

[jellybeard999]

the original thermochills come with more of a fan mount than a shroud ... i got one, i gutted a 37mm fan and stacked a proper fan on top for a shroud... got a 1.5" standoff that way

otherwise, go for the proper new shroud if u can...

and yeah, go for jubilee clips (steel)
