EDIT: t ski what temps do you get with your loop? and is this your rad?
http://www.frozencpu.com/products/53...?tl=g30c95s570 Do you think the 240 version would work good in my loop?
Yep, that's mine. CPU only in the loop right now, and water temps are around 22-23C while CPU idle temps are 28-36C.

You can save a few bucks on the coolant. Most of us use plain distilled water. If you want some kind of anti-fugal in the loop, a silver coil works for many. And tubing: the big brands are Fessor, Primochill and Tygon. Thicker-walled tubing (like 1/2" ID, 3/4" OD) will kink less, but be harder to bend. If you need small/tight bends you might get some thinner-walled tubing (like 1/2" ID, 5/8" OD) and some anti-kink coils.

I have Primochill 1/2" ID, 3/4" OD tubing that is blue. Look for my previous posts in this thread if you want some ideas...
