Water Cooling parts opinion

[samer_ab79]

Hi guys, I'm Samer from Egypt, I just joined the forums, it's awesome.

I want to build my WC setup, I only used WC kits in the past, but this time I want to build it, here is things I have already;

1- Feser X-Changer 360mm Radiator.
2- Swiftech MCP655 Pumps.
3- SCYTHE S-FLEX "F" 120mm 1600 rpm Fan.

Things I wanna get;

1- Bitspower 5.25" Bay Reservoir POM Version.
2- Koolance CPU-350AC.
3- Feser Tube-1/2" ID (3/4"OD)-Clear / UV Blue.
4- Feser One F1 Cooling Fluid - Clear/UV Blue.
5- Bitspower Premium G1/4" High Flow 1/2" Compression Fitting (actually I don't know if performance-pcs sell those as pair or 1 fitting).
6- Bitspower RAD Support I.
7- Koolance Resuable Hose Clamp [19mm, 3/4" OD].

That's what I have in mind, what u guys think, as I said this is my first time so I TOTALLY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M DOING .

Regards.

Welcome to XS!! The guys here in WC'ing will be able to give excellent help with your system.

I would recommend ditching the Feser One coolant in favor of distilled water with either PT Nuke or a silver coil. Otherwise, it looks pretty good.

Many thx guys, @atomic, I don't know what u mean "distilled water with either PT Nuke or a silver coil" as I said I don't have much info, I think I can find distilled water in, umm may be gas stations, but what is PT Nuke or a silver coil is it something I can buy from here or I should order it with the stuff from performance-pcs?

THX.

PT_Nuke is a biocide and the Kill coils are a silver coil that fits in your tubing. Both work to kill microbes and anything that can grow in your loop.

Guys, he's in Egypt; I doubt he's going to be ordering internationally from Petras just for that.

Samer, do you have an Audi/VW dealership? They use an antifreeze called Pentosin, and it has a nice blue color. You can use that with distilled water (bottle, like in the supermarket) in a 20/80 mixture. Or you can use the Feser, but some people have reported some of the dye coming out of solution and clogging up their blocks (which could happen with your CPU block).

you'll never know ... ordering from US is far more cheaper than is from UK due to VAT ... of course minus airflight charges (but hey, sometimes it's cheaper!)

Thx guys, and sorry for not replying sooner, time difference

@headala, I'll look for the Pentosin antifreeze, thx, will any antifreeze? or just this one?

@Serpentarius, it's not just shipping I still have tax and custom fees

BTW, will any distilled water work? also does anyone know if this is sold as a pair or not http://www.performance-pcs.com/catal...ducts_id=22626.

No, you don't HAVE to use pentosin, it's just the only one I know of that is blue. If you don't mind green, normal stuff is okay.

That Bitspower fitting that you see is just for one (so, connecting one threaded hole to one end of tubing). You would need two for your block, etc., but you have to be careful to make sure the holes aren't too close together. Too bad your Koolance block isn't shown on this chart:

Maybe you can ask in that thread?

With our NZL-V13-19 there is about 1.5mm-2mm between the two nozzles so there shouldn't be any problem with the bitspower fittings. (if anyone wants to compare, the diameter of our compression fitting is 24.9mm)

[samer_ab79]

Thx headala, I'll try to see if I can find any antifreeze here, otherwise I'll have to order the PT NUKE, will two of it be enough for my system?

@Koolance dean, thx for ur help, I'm willing to get ur new R2E water block, do u think the same bitspower fitting will be fine?

THX GUYS I REALLY APPRECIATE UR HELP, and again sorry for the delay in the response, does anyone know how can get notified when some one reply to a thread?

Regards.
