Hi all im new here at OCF so bear with me.
Got a few questions regarding a custom watercooling loop im installing in the coming days (upgrading from a corsair h100), here are the parts im buying (exc the clamps, barbs and lights).
- Alphacool Lighttower AIO Resevoir Black
- Alphacool NexXxoS XT45 Full Copper 360mm
- XSPC RayStorm CPU Waterblock for Intel
- Phobya DC12-400 12V Pump
- Mayhems Biocide 10ml
- XSPC FLX Tubing Green UV 1/2ID 3/4OD 2m
1. Im looking to use distilled or dimineralised water with biocide as ive read this is the best for thermal performance as well as it not clogging up pumps etc, is this ok?
2. Ill be running a 360mm rad on the top of my Corsair Obsidian 750D, so im curious would i be better off with 6 fans in push pull on a 45mm rad or go with 3 fans in push on a thicker rad?
3. also the pump is rated for 800 l/ph so will that be good for what im running while also allowing me add a gpu waterblock at a later date.
4. What order should i run everything, the pump attached directly to the res via an included adapter so there are still a few ways to which i can go
Thanks in advance guys
