Orange vipeR - My first WC build :D

[Johny]

Hey guys. Huge thanks to everyone who helped me pick out some parts. Also a big shout out to Daz and his team; items shipped the day after the payment was put in, and came packed with care. Thanks!

Anyway, this is my first WC build, so this should be interesting...

Here are the things I've got ready to be put in: (excuse the shitty lighting in my room )














Now I just need to figure out the flow of the loop. What do you guys think of this?

Res/Pump -> Rad -> CPU -> GPU -> Res/pump.

As far as the fittings go, should I be using a wrench to tighten the connections or is by hand good enough?

Thanks! and LOL, yeah I figured. Hand tightening is good enough I suppose?

I'm putting it into the Fractal Midi R2.. not a watercooling case by any means, but I think I can make it work Lots of room for a triple rad and a nice spot for my res too

as long as the res is followed by the pump (highly recommended) the rest is up to you. nice parts list btw. you will love those fans they are serving me well so far here on my build and they look awesome . as daz mention great quality pictures. looking forward to see the build come together.

Well the pump is integrated into the res haha, it's the dcc + ek's ecc res. And yeah, I have a couple of these in my case at the moment, they're pretty decent for the price honestly

Nice stuff Johny and the shots are awesome. I am impressed

Thank you thank you heh

Question, what's the best way to slip a tube end on a fitting? When working on Cars I usually lube it up with oil, but this isn't a car haha. Any suggestions?

[bungwirez]

run tube under hot water for a minute or two...

[gdesmo]

Yup, softens it up and makes it easy !
