How much water cooling liquid do I need?

[rendermandan]

Simple question.

I'm almost finished with my case and was checking to make sure I have everything I need to setup my water cooling. I purchased a bottle of PrimoChill ICE Non-Conductive Liquid Cooling Fluid (32 oz.).

Here is the equipment I have:

medium sized resevoir, 260ml capacity
120mm swiftech radiator,
240mm Danger Den black Ice extreme radiator
CPU Block,
Danger Den ATI 1900 video card block
and of course a pump

I'm using 3/8" tubing by the way.

So My question is, will 1 bottle of fluid cover it, or should I order another one?

Well, if you get one bottle and it isnt enough youre going to be pissed right. If you get 2 bottles you'll have a little extra guaranteed.

as j-roc said get 2 just incase, otherwise scrap using coolents and get distilled water and some additives.

Damn Americans and their different measurement units!

*googles*

k so thats roughly 1 litre...

My set-up roughly the same as your but with 1/2" tubing i used about 1 litre, but i also used a little bit to flush my rads through after cleaning them with vinegar and distilled water. And i spilt some so i've used some of my 2nd litre, then i have the rest of the 2nd bottle for topping up.

So yea, 2 bottles :)

oh i forgot, build the system then get some plain water or distilled then fill up your system then measure how much you put into the system and if you put more than 32oz's you will need a second bottle!

thanks you guys, I went ahead and ordered a second bottle today. I also figured I'd order a fill port for the case as well. I'll have to add it to the mod in the back of the case somewhere once I get it.

thanks again!
