Hi all;

I have recently started to try some overclocking on my PC and have realized that where I live its always like 1000 Degrees so I need some MAD cooling.

The build I am planning on adding this to will be;

Case: Corsair 900D (will order soon)
CPU: AMD FX-8350 (existing)
MOBO: ASUS Sabertooth 990FX (existing)
GPU: possibly new 9000 series or 3 x 7970's (still deciding)
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws X F3-12800CL9Q-16GBBXL DDR3 (existing)
PSU: Enermax Revolution85+ 1250W (existing)
HDD: OCZ RevoDrive PCI-Express SSD 120GB + barracudas (existing)


So I am looking for some advice on what I should use for water cooling so far I have been thinking;

Case: Corsair 900D
CPU: EK Supremacy Waterblock Full Copper
GPU: Have to wait and see
Radiator1: Alphacool NexXxos Monsta 560
Radiator2: Alphacool NexXxos Monsta 360
Reservoir: EK-Multioption RES X2
Pump: Bitspower Dual D5 Mod Top - Black Acetal

Plus: fans, pipes, fittings, coolant, temp sensor, flow indicator.

Still looking for a digital temp reading/fan controller/Flow indicator

This is probably a bit overkill but that's what its all about right 😉

Wow that is a nice build and a lot of hardware as well, but I have a AMD system, and it has a nice water system attached to it as well, it is for the use of gaming. I would like to add some insight that I had on my build if you do not mind. I have 3 GTX580 water cooled cards but when I attached all three cars to my system, I did not see any increase in Frame rates on any of the games that I tried it on. It did score a little better on the benchmarks, but not enough to be noticeable, so I removed the third card from the setup. I am currently building a Intel system to see if that issue still exists on that platform, but this is me and you my have different results with your system. So have a look at my build log if you want to, but I...

exactly... the problm, and great thing, about water cooling is that there's always something to do :) It's a hobby rivaled only by cocaine addiction.

ok so good news....... and bad news

Bad news is I need to start ALL OVER

Good news is missus decided she wants my old computer
So now this is going to be an EPIC 900D build MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA...... (If I can afford it lol)


So as much as I love AMD they don't make an E-ATX board so will be an Intel machine (for all you fanboys 😉

So did a bit of research and am thinking about:


CASE: 900D
Fans: Corsair AF120 x 12, Corsair AF140 x 2
FAN CNTRL: Corsair Link Cooling and Lighting Kit
TEMP SNS: Bitspower G1/4 Deluxe White Temperature Sensor

HARDWARE

Mobo: Gigabyte G1 Sniper 5 OOOORRRRRRR Gigabyte GA-Z87X-OC-FORCE Motherboard
CPU: i5 4670
PSU: Corsair AX1200
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws - Something
GPU: Going to wait till October for the 9xxx Series to be released to see how it compares.
