Hi everyone!
It's been a while since I built my latest computer, but it's time to upgrade! Finally my Athlon gets to retire! This time around I thought I'd use a bit of watercooling. I haven't built a custom watercooling loop before so I thought I'd start by asking some questions. I hope there's someone here to answer!

The system itself is going to be a Ryzen 1800X with an RX Vega on a Crosshair VI Hero. Looking at G.SKILL Flare X RAM and the 960 PRO 1TB SSD. It'll be living in a The Tower 900.

I was thinking of doing a split loop using;
1 x aquaero 6 LT
2 x aquastream ULTIMATE
2 x aqualis XT 880
2 x airplex radical 2/420

On one loop I'll be putting;
1 x M.2 SSD water block
1 x Vega gfx water block (when available)

On the other I'll be putting;
1 x cuplex kryos NEXT with VISION AM4, acrylic/nickel water block

I plan on tying everything together with hard acrylic tubing.

Now for some questions!

1, Is the Double Protect Ultra coolant compatible with acrylic?
2, Will the above parts play nicely together and provide a good cooling solution? Should I switch something for something else?
3, Are the airplex radical 2/420 a good choice or should I go with smaller or bigger?
4, Should I add RAM, chipset and regulator cooling to one of the loops?

Thanks!

I'll take a look at the smaller radiators. And the smaller reservoirs, I'm just afraid they'll look silly in that huge case! Also, I was thinking of not filling them completely and using the "waterfall effect".

Good to know I won't be needing watercooling for the SSD, I read up on the PCI structure of Ryzen/x370 yesterday and using the kryoM.2 card will probably degrade performance.

I'll go google "silver coil" and "PT nuke" now..

Ok, thanks for the input! I definately want what's best - not least expensive. And time is money, 15 minutes of mixing isn't free..
