They Hydro Copper fittings for the water block...  Do you use 10mm or 12mm tubing?  Just want to make sure I'm building this out properly.

    Pro tip.. to make getting the tubing on the fittings easier, heat a short glass of distilled water in the microwave for a min.

    Take your pre cut tubing end and place it in the cup for a min to warm the tubing up. This is soften it up a bit to make it easier to slip the tubing onto the fitting.

    Buy more then enough coolant.. you dont want to be just short and screwed.

    You use what you're using with the rest of the system.  Is this a GPU only loop or an addition to your existing system?

    Don't mind if I ask but have you researched intro to custom liquid cooling?  If not or semi, have a look at this video below.  There's maintenance involved and what to do before powering on your PC to make sure everything is sealed tight, etc.

    As someone else looking to do their first custom loop with the Hydrocopper block, the info posted in this thread has been quite helpful. Thank you!

    OP, have you figured out which pump/radiators you're going to use? My main concern is ensuring to stick with the same metals throughout the loop. I'm unsure how that's going to play into which pump/radiators to go with as I continue to research. 

    I'd be happy to take it to PM if it throws your thread off topic.

    I'm going all in on the case.  I have a 2016 machine that I built w/ a Rampage V Asus board and a 1080ti so I'm going to take the time to learn an do this right.  CPU and GPU are going to end up with their own loops.  One neon green, the other neon purple.
