I'd recommend getting a Aquacomputer Quadro, temp sensor fitting and flow sensor to properly control your loop. If you control the fans only with CPU temps - Zen 2 boost behaviour will make the fans ramping up & down constantly.Personally I had my A12x15 sanded down to fit in the case with 30mm thick rad and I've only seen 1 other guy who sanded down his A12x25s to fit with TX240 in the case. IIRC he had to sanded down the backside of the fan - too risky for my taste cause if you're not careful you'll damage the hub.In my build I used Alphacool TPV straight & 90 degrees as the 12.7/7.6 size is specific to Alphacool. For other adapters I've used Bitspower, Barrow, Koolance.Bitspower fitting has the best quality for sure - very shiny finish, thick O-rings, but expensive.Barrow fitting is about 80% the quality of Bitspower but price is only half - the finish not as good visually during close examination but the same from a distance. But 1 negative is that the rotary part is very stiff so you'll need to apply some force to have the angle just right.For Koolance I only use the Elbow 90-degree - you cannot have enough of these little things, they are perfect for SFF loopI like the visual design of EK Quantum Torque fittings but beware of their dimensions - width, installed height, etc. as they are more bulky than the traditional design (Bitspower / Barrow). As for quantity, figure out the minimum that you need in each categories - straight, adapter (90 / 45 / dual 45 degree, etc.) then add 2-3 more to each for safe margin. Even as you plan the loop so thoroughly in your head / on paper / in CAD, something will inevitably catches you out during live build and you would not want to be 1-2 fitting short.
