[H] I need some assistance and finishing my water cooling loop for my Case Labs Mercury s5 and pedestal.
I have already purchased a AlphaCool UT60 360mm radiator, 3/8th ID ½ OD tubing, and Swiftech MCP655-B w/ Tach.
For this build I am going to keep both the 360mm radiator, a 240mm radiator in the pedestal of the case as well as the Swiftech MCP655-B w/ Tach with a pump top as well.
Up top I will have the 2nd 240mm radiator mounted in the front of the case and the fan controller.
For the video card (EVGA GTX 780 SC w/ ACX cooler) do I need a backplate? Can I use the included backplate that worked with the ACX cooler or will it not fit because of the waterblock?
Does it look like I have the appropriate amount of 90 degree fittings or should I rethink that?
I’m trying to buy as much of this in one go as I can as I have a 10% off coupon and would like to have this up and running by the Super Bowl.
Finally I have a question about drain ports. I have purchased several items to make a drain port. Would it work to put it in the pedestal and just screw a piece of tubing on the Phobya Valve when I needed to drain it?
In Summary I have
CaseLabs Mercury s5 case and Pedestal
AlphaCool UT60 360mm radiator
3/8th ID ½ OD tubing
Swiftech MCP655-B w/ Tach
Picture is my shopping cart -- Hopefully I didn't forget anything important.
