  • First time loop help

    Hey guys, I am in the process of ordering parts for my first loop. I was wondering if I could get some feedback on the parts I have selected, I will be cooling 6700k and gtx 1080 g1 gaming, I am likely going to get Define S as my case. Rads are not shown because I have purchased them already off a member here. I have not added the GPU block or CPU block in the parts list either because I have not decided on which ones to go with. If someone could also help me with a drain setup I would greatly appreciate it!
    Cheers!

    Don't see a reservoir in he list.

    The drain is a fairly simple thing to setup.
    I like to use a t-block at the lowest point of my loop with a ball valve. I then connect a flexible tube to the valve when I'm ready to drain or fill. I always fill my loops from the bottom up to help reduce air being trapped in loop. This is just my personal preference.

    You could use one of the ports on a multi port rad as the drain point as well. Depends on how you place your rad as to whether this would work for you.
    Daz has a bunch of fittings that can be helpful when setting up a drain for your system.

    Some people like to use quick disconnects instead of the ball valve to setup fill/drain for they're loops.

    What ever you choose the trick to a good drain point is using the lowest point in the loop.

      The silicone cord should be 10mm diameter, as the tube you have selected is 10x12mm.
