Custom Overkill Water Cooling Loop Help Needed

[Kuala]

Hi all,

I'm going to be building a custom, rigid acrylic water cooling loop somtime this year (when I finish my build in the first place and then scrounge some more money together lol).

I know this is going to be completely overkill (get down to where I start talking about radiators) but that is the point, I want a monster

I would like it to be for more or less everything (CPU, GPU, RAM, SOUTHBRIDGE, VRM) but as this is only my second loop I need a hand with picking out the components and planning the loop (I know loop order doesn't matter except resivoir ---> pump but you obviously wouldn't want the loop to go from the hottest part to the coolest with no raidiator on the way).

The parts for my pc itself are:

i5 4670k/i7 4770k (I'll choose eventually)
780 SLI/780ti SLI (I'll probably choose eventually)
Asus Maximus VI Formula
Any RAM you can find a waterblock for
Corsair 900D
(Just ask if more specs are needed)

As the 900D is HUGE I would like 2 x 480mm radiators (one in top one in bottom and maybe the 240mm in the bottom aswell 😀

I don't mind 1 or 2 loops but no more than 2.

As far as resivoirs go, I would like 1 if there will be 1 loop and 2 if there will be 2 loops (one per loop) and for them to be cylindrical and trasparent.

I would like it to end up somewhat like this: http://forums.evga.com/m/tm.aspx?m=2037029
so wish me luck!!

Money isn't too much of an issue but obviously don't just chuck it at nothing! (I've seen gold plated pumps, res and compression fittings out there!!)

Anyway, I need help with these 2 things:
Loop order
Loop parts

Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks very much!!

Well I like to cool as much as possible, but I do not build my loops quite the same way as the one shown


A nice and simple build


A little more complex loop design.

Sorry, I don't think I understand what you are trying to say?

With all of that hardware you will need to custom configure your loop, to run water through all of it, the right configuration can and will provide excellent results.

As most get caught up in the Oooh and Aaah of the way that setup looks, my thoughts are how long will it last with the CPU overclocked to 5ghz using 1.48v, not long I guarantee you, but it looks good!

You've chosen a case the 900D that is not conducive to my suggestion but I'm going to suggest it anyway your apparent radiator need would best be served by a side mount of the Watercool MO-RA3 radiator but then all the little nooks and crannies the case provides for radiators wouldn't even be needed.

With a reservoir mounted beside the radiator.

Looks something like this with 4 x 180mm cooling fans, but the pro line would allow 9 x 120mm x 2, in a push pull setup that would pretty much cool everything you throw at it.



You did say you wanted a Monster!

If I could hide that thing, I would jump on it, no question about it, but I would like this build to look really good and though such a radiator would be perfect in terms of performance, I really dislike the athstetic of it. My favourite part about that build is the "ooooh and ahhh" factor.

I agree tho, 24/7 @ 1.48v isn't going to be healthy for the CPU but I think it was for a suicide run on a benchmark.

I thing we should tackle the two things separately (loop order, loop parts) first I need help with how my loop/2 loops are going to be ordered in order to keep a nice clean build like the one I pointed out earlier.

Then we can focus on the best performing/compatible parts for it.

Has anyone got an india of a good loop order or the loop order above?
