Hey guys, running a i7 930 on with asus p6x58d-e and kingston 3x2ghz 2000mhz t1 hyper x. Current casing is CM690 lite. Anyways, cut to the point. I have been searching and reading on watercooling and after a few days I have finalized on the following items.
CPU block : EK Supreme HF Nickel (This should be fine?)
Pump : Laing D5/ Swiftech MCP 655 (This should be fine as well?)
Radiator: HW Labs Black Ice Xtreme 240mm (Considered the 360mm but dont think I can fit it in somehow?)
Tubes : XSPC 7/16ID - 5/8OD (Radiator barbs are 1/2ID but I want the tubes to fit tight. Or you suggest I switch to 1/2ID tubes?)
Coolant : Distilled water(Feser Aqua) + Biocide from Petra's Tech
Thermal Paste : Arctic Silver 5
Recommendations for items to be replaced can be obtained easily and cheap around the UK I hope (am studying in UK). Or if you guys think this setup is good to go. Im ordering it tomorrow.
this is better at the watercooling club thread.CPU block : EK Supreme HF Nickel (This should be fine?)

CPU block : EK Supreme HF Nickel (This should be fine?) - why wouldn't it be fine? Supreme HF is one of the best cpu block.
Pump : Laing D5/ Swiftech MCP 655 (This should be fine as well?) - good pump. you might wanna try the one with variable speed.
Radiator: HW Labs Black Ice Xtreme 240mm (Considered the 360mm but dont think I can fit it in somehow?) - 240mm rad should be enough for processor only loop, might have problem with internal mount.
Tubes : XSPC 7/16ID - 5/8OD (Radiator barbs are 1/2ID but I want the tubes to fit tight. Or you suggest I switch to 1/2ID tubes?) - i'd go with 1/2"ID tubes, get clamps or zip ties.
Coolant : Distilled water(Feser Aqua) + Biocide from Petra's Tech - just get tesco distilled water and biocide. feser water is just expensive water.
Thermal Paste : Arctic Silver 5 - no comment, but supreme hf does come with thermal paste. mx-2 if i'm not mistaken.
