I need to know how many fittings I need for this custom loop

[FreeWayPineapple]

I am really confused about the amount of fittings I need. My plan is to buy a CPU cooling kit then add two Asus GTX 980 Poseidons into the loop with another radiator. Here Is my build in case you need it. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/B9vDFT Thanks!

There's no way to determine that without your water cooling components.

On the build I'd suggest:

a) upgrading to the Asus Maximus Formula which is built for water cooling
b) those two RAM kits may not work together..... I see what you going for but it's not a good idea.
c) 850 watts is more than enough
d) Do not pipe the two Poseidon's in series, use parallel.

You can find a dimensional drawing here:

But damned if I can remember where I put the fittings layout.

Essentially....

(2) for each component (card, block, radiator, pump, reservoir) in the system .... plus 90's, 45's as will be determined by layout and some spares.

Id suggest:

AlphaCool XT45-420 rad on top and UT60-280 on bottom.
EK Supremacy Evo
EK Res 250
D5 variable speed (PWM)

Here's the Primo w/ two 780s, 4770k, XT45-420, UT60-280, 35x2 pump, EK Res

You can see the drain port in lower right.... there's a fill port and bleed port on top.

well you pretty much need 2 fittings per component. most company's include PLUGS for extra ports but no fittings. id say for what you are trying to do you would need 6 more fittings but depending on your tube routing you may want to get 1 or 2 extra. when i did my loop things didnt look the way i wanted and i was glad i got the extra fitting. thas a great looking rig. small fortune in fitting but still sexy

Im sorry but what do you mean by "Do not pipe the two Poseidon's in series, use parallel." Also I saw someone on pcpartpicker with a completed build using the red and black hyperx fury ram.

Look at the build above, that's parallel .... half the water goes thru one card and half the water goes thru the other.

In serial.... all the water goes thru one card and then all the water goes thru the 2nd card.

So basically I just have to add two tubes instead of one.

Bridges can work in parallel or series
