"PC components produce a lot of waste heat, and without sufficient cooling will overheat, shutting down or damaging your system. Watercooling provides the ultimate in cooling and aesthetics.

This category contains a huge variety of hardline tubing. Cutting, shaping and installing hardline tubing is much more involved, as it has to be heated and bent to shape, but the end result is much more impressive than flexible tubing. Hardline tubing is available in a variety of materials and colours, including transparent so you can see the coolant inside.

Tubing is used to transfer the coolant between all the aforementioned components of the loop. Make sure you consider the size, it’s important to check the internal and external diameter of the tubing to ensure it's compatible with the other components in the loop. As a general rule of thumb, the larger the diameter the lower the temperatures as there will be more water in the loop.

This category contains a huge variety of flexible and hardline tubing fittings. Fittings are used to secure the different components of the loop to the tubing. You’ll need two fittings (one in, one out) for each component, making sure that they are the right diameter for your tubing. Fittings are available in a wide variety of finishes so you can match them to the rest of the loop. Fittings are even available in different shapes, including 45° and 90° angles, y-splitters and x-splitters.

The importance of choosing the right sort of water or coolant for your watercooling loop shouldn’t be underestimated. Don’t be tempted to use standard tap water as it's full of particles and bacteria that over time will clog up the loop reducing its effectiveness and making the tubing and reservoir look a prop from a Roger Corman film.

This category contains a variety of premixed coolant in a huge variety of colours, including some that are UV reactive. Being premixed, the coolant already contains anti-algae and corossion inhibitors, so you can simply fill up your loop without having to worry about needing any additives.
