Hello all iam richman iam new here, i am just planning my first watercooled set-up here is what i want to use you feedback would be much appreciated

This set-up will be based on 1/2" tubing
Res: Innovatek Tank-O-Matic Reservoir for 8mm (is 8mm 3/8" or 1/2")
Pump: Hydor Seltz L20 Pump
CPU Block: DD RBX 478 Lucite Top 1/2" Chrome Fittings
Rad: Black Ice Extreme

here you can find the case that i have.

Once again your feedback would be appreciated

Cheers
Richman

First off:
1/2" = 12.5mm
3/8" = 9.5mm
8mm = weak. ;)

I'd either go for a different res, or be prepared to mod the res with 1/2" fittings.
Rest seems reasonable. What sort of fan were you planning to use on the rad?

what res would u recommend?

also i dont know about a fan maybe a panaflow

I dunno, depends what you have space/money for. Custom building a res is quite common.

Make sure you use a decent fan - air flow through your rad is a key part of a cooling system.

i was thining about mounting a res on the top of my case with green water init and somehow getting the water to iluminate.
