Hello all, I heard this was the best place to come and talk about water cooling so here I am.

I'm about to build a water cooling system and want advice and opinions on what I have planned...

I'm planning on using a MCW5000-P to cool my cpu, and some 1/2" tubing the pump I am planning on right now is a Danner mag drive 3, and a car heater core as the radiator, and then some tuperware that I'd convert to become a reservior. I'm planning on sealing everything with some silicone to prevent leaks

Any advice or opinions on what to do or what not to do before I spend my money and create this sytem?

The main things I am concerned about is making a water tight seal I won't have to worry about and the pump having too much water pressure causing leaks.

Also, what's the best way to adapt a car heater core for 1/2" tubing? and should I get barb adaptors for my the MCW5000 or just leave it as it comes?
