Hello everyone, I'm about to order my new water-cooling loop.

It'll include:

a XT45 360mm radiator at the top with 3 x 120mm Noiseblocker B12-PS pushing outwards,

a UT60 280mm radiator in the front with 2 x 140mm Noiseblocker BlackSilentPro PK-PS pulling inwards,

a Watercool HEATKILLER® CPU Rev3.0 CPU waterblock,

a GTX 780ti Hydro Copper waterblock,

a Koolance 200mm Reservoir,

a Koolance PMP-450 pump,

with Tygon Silver Antimicrobial tubing,

an IandH silver killcoil,

IandH Dead-Water Copper Sulfate Biocidal Coolant Additive,

with Distilled Water.

I have not decided on fittings as I'm not sure what degree fittings I will need for my 750D loop.

I'd appreciate any thoughts on my components. I'm going for a full copper block loop with silver tubing, additive, and possibly fittings as well to keep the water nice and clean.

Thank you!

Looks like a good build
Here is a website you might find helpful for water cooling parts, and the fittings you might need.

I have heard good things about Monsoon fittings

Also read this about galvanic corrosion. Pretty much don't mix aluminum and copper in your loop or corrosion will be a problem.

O wait... you said you are going full copper... that is a great plan.

Thanks for the links, good to know. I'm unsure whether using true silver fittings is recommended after having silver tubing, a silver coil and a biocide in my loop. It seems a little overboard.
