hey,

Tubing and connectors depend on how your planning your loop so we would need more detail like case etc.

3 x XT120's would be fine but why not get a XT 360?

Cuplex XT is the best

The twinplex pro sli is for dfi board so you will be fine

The Aquastream is the best one

and as fair as i know bluemotion is non conductive but im sure shoggy or one of the AC guys will confirm that for me.

couplex XT is better, but it will only be a few degrees, so if you like the looks of the Cuplex pro better, just buy it

Connections, Tubing, Etc.

I'd recommend using PUR-tubing and plug'n'cool connectors. the tubes are quite stiff and won't fold (kink? crease? i don't know...) that easy. and they are really easy to install.

yes.

Is the BlueMotion additive non-conductive?

no you'll still need ACFluid. if you want blue tubes, you should go for the "PUR active blue" tube, it's white but glows blue much stronger than any water additive.
but you definitively need ACFluid.

Quoted

Is the aquastream pump the best in the pump store?

if you plan having an aquaero and don't care about the costs: definitely yes

and: I don't see any Fans on your List. you definitely need some Fans.
there is a special offer at the moment where you get the XT-radiators with matching fans a little cheaper ("Bundle airplex XT 120 ohne Anschlüsse + airstream 120 mm" it is called.)

Gute work-live-balance ist, wenn man von seinem Privatleben erschöpfter ist als von der Arbeit.

Really suggest to get Aquaero, for you can monitor / control temperature, fans & aquastram pump control.

The setting is so powerful. I'd been using for a little while, but still study for the complete functions which it have.

;D
