Building my first WC system ... going to have a CPU, GPU, and chipset waterblock. Using a triple 120 mm radiator and a sinlge bay resivoir with 1/2" ID tubing. Will 1 32 oz. bottle of fluid XP be enough to fill this loop or should i get 2?
Setup:

Blocks: Swiftech apogee (storm if it gets in stock), MCW60, MCW30
Pump: Swiftech MCP655
Radiator: Swiftech MCR320 (3x120mm)
Fans: 3x Yate Loon 120mm
Tubing: 1/2" clearflex tubing
Resivoir: single bay

Any other suggestions are welcome also. Thanks in advance!
 
I would go as far as to say, don't buy Fluid XP or PC ICE.

Go buy some coloured anti-freeze, like Penotosin.

Them mix that with 90% Water, 10% Pentosin.
 
My only real hesitation in trying watercooling was the possibility of conductive liquid leaking all over my expensive compter parts. What is the performance difference between a non-conductive liquid and a conductive liquid or mix? Also back to my original question ... would 32 oz be enough or would I need more?
 
I don't know how much you will need, but I wasn't recommending it because of what can happen with it.

Some of those coolants seperate from their colour, and clog up pumps and waterblocks, or sometimes like Zerex, cloud it all up and make pumps really dirty.
