edit: yes those are the ones ^^

hmmmm lol I've wanted to go H2O for awhile now & looks like I have a reason now what? Nice setup Dr. I think in the next week I might be doing the same but different. Like to keep my options open for adding at a later date.

My block has shipped, and I'm about to pull the trigger on the remaining gear, any last words?

Swiftech MCB-120 Radbox Revision 2 Black

Feser One Fluid UV Black NON-CONDUCTIVE Water Replacement for Liquid Cooling Is one bottle enough?

I've switched to a separate reservoir, changed the barbs and added a couple of fan grills, I'll be using a couple of YL D12BL-12 fan's that I already have. Anything I'm missing?

That loop will be good for the X2.

I think you get around 1 litre of the primochill, that will be just about enough when you include the RES. With an MCR220 integrated and an apogee GT block I used about 600ml.

If you've got your heart set on black coolant then stick with it. Personally I like the Hydrx additive which you mix with distilled water-although it is green which is not to everyones tastes.

That looks quite well Dr.B.. Personally I'd spend a dollar or two more and get the D-Tek barbs, a bit better and secure.

D'oh, added the wrong ones, no wait, NCIX doesn't have the DTek ones in 3/8

The block is already on it's way , via UPS

[Dr_BenD_over]

Am I going to need plugs for the block, or are they included?

Nice MS paint loop configuration....should be a solid WC loop when its all said and done....I liked the idea of the empty APC case it got me thinking about all these dead BE500's I have laying around.
