I have made a few drawing for how loop could end up looking on OCN, this the loop i like the most, it is the 3 idea of the loop.
As i think by third idea of the loop is the best i have put together a parts list, not cheap, but i think it will be worth it.
The Shopping list for the 3. loop watercooling idea
Nickel fittings, as there is no point in hiding them in system when cost as much as they do, so i want to see those small suckers in the build biggrin.gif But Black cost the same, and could look good too in the build.
Fittings:
12x - EK ACF 13/10mm fittings
2x - EK AF angled 90* adapters
6x - EK AF angled 45* adapters
2x - EK extenders G1/4
1x - Stop ball valve
1x - EK fitting plug G1/4
1x - EK AF extender (M to M G1/4)
1x -
G1/4 temperature sensor (F to F G1/4) (measuring the return water temp before it enter the 240mm rad / reservoir, the plan is the connect the temp sensor to the motherboard and run the fans of that signal)
Tubing:
Primochill Flex A. LRT 13/10mm elegant white (2 or 3 meters)
Primochill 13/10 anti-kink coil (for looks only)
Masterkleer 13/10mm clear (1 meter), (for the drain/fil system)
Coolant:
2x - Alphacool Ultra Pure Water (distilled) 1 liter
1x - Anti corrosion and algae additive 50 ml
1x - Filler bottle 500 ml for filling and draining
Radiators:
1x - Alphacool Nexxxos ST30 120mm radiator
1x - XSPC 240mm fan gasket
1x - XSPC 120mm fan gasket
Blocks:
1x - Alphacool Nexxxos GPX - GTX 970 M03 - (for Giga's 970 G1)
Combo kit. (pump and reservoir etc.):
1x - Swiftech H220-X
I think that is about all the parts i will need for my watercooling loop,
it all adds up to a jaw dropping cost of 502 euros including shipping cost, it is alot of money, but i have come this far, so i might aswell do it, as i'm itching to build this loop
I think my loop is more advanced than it needs to be with the use of all of those fitting etc., but think it will work and look very cool once it is done. I know the temperature sensor is not need, but i'm a bit of a control freak when it comes to how my PC runs, so is a must for me, but it all adds up to highend loop by the time it is done, or atleast that is the plan

Am i on the right track on should i change something out ?? I need to know before i commit to the fully custom water loop.
_________
I think i could save about 30 euros on the adapter fittings, but it is more or less the price of the system
