This is the second part of my Arc Mini watercooling build log. Parts provided by Aquatuning.

In Part 3, I will look at the performance of this loop compared to a Corsair H100, I have many videos to do it before that, and will be very busy, so please be patient.
Here is a list of the chosen parts:
Alphacool DC-LT Ceramic Pump: tinyurl.com/94l6vsm
Alphacool Repack - Dual DC-LT - 5,25 Single Bay Station: tinyurl.com/8ka4mn2
The pump, res combo worked very well in the small Arc Mini case, however It was a bit fiddly to fit and the pump is a little on the loud side.
Alphacool NexXxoS ST30 Full Copper 240mm: tinyurl.com/8vwpxk5
I love the NexXxoS rads and look forward to using the thicker ones in future rigs. The only feedback would be to lose the stickers.
Masterkleer Tubing PVC (3/8"ID): tinyurl.com/8npotwc
I thought this size tubing would look overly small compared to the thicker options but it's actually a pretty nice size that I'll use in the future. When I first took the reel out of the box it felt a little delicate, but once cut down to size it's much more flexible and strong.
45° Alphacool 13/10 compression fittings: tinyurl.com/8mourrf
90° Alphacool 13/10 compression fittings: tinyurl.com/8pzpz6l
Phobya G1/4" extension fittings: tinyurl.com/9sxn9z2
All the fitting were easy to work with, I especially liked the Phobya extensions, can't go wrong for the money. The Alphacool logo on their fittings, does rub off easily during fitting, so be careful if you want to keep it, but if you want to go for the unbranded stealth black look, this actually works out as a positive.
Phobya CPU-Cooler UC-1 LT: tinyurl.com/99ohp32
