Im going to play around with my first water loop. I ordered a XSPC D5 AX kit from Performance pcs with a Raystorm Pro water block, 7/16 tubing, compression fittings, 170 Res, D5 vario pump, 1650RPM fans, AX240 rad and Mayhems Biocide.
Im planning on running distilled water and the biocide in the loop. My question is do I need to clean the equipment rinse it out so to speak before building it? If so how would you do it? This setup will be replacing a Corsair H50 I have been using on my I7 4770K for years. I will upgrade it down the road with another 240 or 360 rad for my video card (Gigabyte G1 Gaming) when I feel comfortable with the loop. Maybe when I change the water out next year.
Anyway any tips you can offer to a newbie.
Link to kit I got.
