What do i need exactly to have a custom water cooling loop for my GPU and CPU?

[MaDxDOTxGaMeR]

ive been looking for a way to do this for a while and i still dont quite understand 🙁

i know that you need a reservoir, pump, radiator (+ fans), tubing and fittings but i dont exactly know what size reservoir i need, what pump works for a pump/reservoir combo so it takes up the least space in my case, a perfectly large radiator and which fittings to get for the tubing.
im wanting to be going with hard tubing also.

I am going to be getting my cooling blocks for the GPU and the CPU from EK but need to know what size reservoir i need to cool all of the components (which will be slightly overclocked) the CPU will run at about 4.5ghz - 4.7ghz and the GPU will be running at around 2000mhz.

i have an i7 6700K, a GTX 1080 and my case is a corsair 750D airflow edition.

if you guys could help, that would be amazing as i dont know where else to receive advise/help.

Assuming you already know what water blocks you will be getting, go to the product page for that block and scroll down to "Additional Information" and look at the "threads" section. It will say something like G1/4. If that is the case then you can purchase any fitting that under additional info says G1/4 threads. The threads simply have to match. The size of the fitting determines what size the tubing will be, not the cooling blocks themselves. As for size of tubing, amount of coolant/reservoir size, etc. I recommend this video:

It covers many important topics of water cooling and should help you out.

The only things that need to "match" are the turbing and the fittings. Just about all fittings are g1/4 threaded which means they will fit any block, res or rad on the market.

Themaltake has released a new line of DIY watercooling parts. Its a good way to go if you nervous about compatibility.

so what size reservoir should i get for the case which i have?

The size of the res doesn't matter. AIO coolers technically don't even have a res. Get whatever res you like that fits your case.
