Water Cooling Question

[CybranAlien]

If I buy the following components, do I have enough for a working watercooling setup for my CPU?
(I have more than enough fans to mount on the radiator)

Swiftech Apogee GTZ - socket 775
Swiftech MCP655 pump
Swiftech MCR320-Res (radiator with integrated reservoir; reasons why I should use seperate units?)
Swiftech Norprene tubes (61cm) <= how many would I need?
Anti-Corrosive liquid

I actually wanted to buy the Swiftech H2O-220 Apex Ultima liquid cooling set, but the above would be cheaper (as long as I don't need 8 tubes)
It would be my first water cooling setup (that's why I first wanted to buy an all-in-one set) but I'd like to get my money's worth and the 3x120 MCR320 seems better than the 2x120 radiator in the set.

You can also recommend other stuff to get if these are inferior.
I just hope I'd be able to get the better things, because shops here are really limited for watercooling...
Thanks for all replies.

You need a res.. well dont need, but its recomended.

However since your getting a D5, i would recomend a T3 unit, that way u can kill 2 birds with 1 stone.

Anti corrosive liquid.. just use straight distilled H2O. Your not mixing metals from what i see, so therefore you dont need any additives.

Maybe get a little bit of silver as biocide, you can get a kill coil, or silver plated barbs.

Neoprene tubing is a waste.. honestly.. if this is your first time, get masterkleer 7/16ID tubing. Its cheap and works great.

I say this because your probably gonna tweek for about 3-6 months which will involve you taking your system down to rebuild, and rebuild again. (its an addiction once u get a good system going).

So get cheap tubing, until you can finalize a build and use expensive tubing.

I highly recommend a T3 for your D5 tho.

You install a D5 inside that unit. And its not hard to do.

Thanks for the reply.

So, the reservoir in the radiator isn't gonna cut it?
As I said in the first post, shops here don't really have a huge catalog when it comes to water cooling, and that reservoir you suggested is not available in any shop I know...
Also, if I'm not going to be using that reservoir in the radiator, then I don't really need it, so I could get the same radiator without the built-in reservoir. Except that it is actually cheaper with the reservoir, so a reasonable question would be: would the unused reservoir impede performance of the radiator?

I haven't searched for tubing yet, but I'm sure, even if I can't find it in computer-shops, I can find other tubing somewhere, so that won't be a problem.
Same for the biocide, I'm sure I can find that somewhere.

So the only remaining question is about the reservoir: what do you think?

Thanks!
