Hello everyone, I hope I'm posting this in the right place and not breaking any rules. I finally managed to purchase a T1. While it's being shipped I wanted to buy all the parts I need for a custom loop. Since this is my first time making a custom loop I thought I'd ask you guys for some advice.


My system specs are:

  • EVGA 3080 XC3 Ultra
  • Ryzen 3900XT
  • Asrock B550 Phantom Gaming ITX
  • WD Black M.2 SSD
  • 2x 16GB Corsair LPX RAM

I'm cooling both my CPU and GPU, my parts list (So far) is:


  • XSPC TX240 Rad (Fan recommendations would be sweet, otherwise I'm getting 2 Noctua A12x25s)
  • EK Quantum Vector XC3 3080 Active Backplate
  • EK-Quantum Vector XC3 3080 Nickel + Acetal GPU Block
  • EK-Quantum Velocity D-RGB - AMD Nickel + Acetal CPU Block
  • EK-Tube ZMT Matte Black 15.9/9/5mm
  • Alphacool DC-LT 2600 & Alphacool Eisstation DC-LT 40 Pump

Which brand/type of fittings do you guys recommend? And how many of each fitting should I buy? I've been doing research on my end but I wanted to make sure I got everything I need. And if you have any recommendations/changes please let me know! Trying to learn as much as I can. 😄


Thanks!
