[F]irst Time Custom Watercooling, be gentle ;)

[ranger719]

Hi!

I've been trying to convince myself to build a custom loop for over a year, and I've finally started to plan out my next loop. I've pretty much got everything planned out, but before I bite the bullet, I need your opinion on it. I think I got all the compatibility issues sorted out, but I'm not complete sure. Can this great community help out here?


Thanks!


My list of stuff:

If you really need my system specs, which probably has very little to do with this build:

600t
z87 sabertooth
4670k
vengeance 16gb
7970DCII

That looks OK i guess..not sure as I'm not a "rad" man..but I think you might more RAD for GPU+ CPU..
or you could build a bong cooler for around $170 + GPU block n barbs..

May not be for you..It appears you're going for looks...what with the braided cables and all.
A little vinegar in the loop is good..and distilled water for closed loop.
I'd use a bit of bleach as well.

Hi.

For a CPU + GPU LCS I suggest you a 3x120mm radiator plus another 2x120mm or 3x120mm. Remember the loop order. Res > Pump > Radiator1 > CPU > Raditor2 > GPU > Res

well I built a unit with a 360mm rad for the same amount of hardware





the video card is clocked to 850Mhz and the temps

not too bad

now here is one built for performance





and the temps are great



but with 3 360mm radiators to cool the system I would expect nothing less.
