Hey guys, so im putting together a list of things id like to use in my first custom water cooling system. I built this computer a year ago and put in a Corsair H60 for the time being so i could try out water cooling (was financially restricted at the time). Now that ive got some money aside i wanna do a CPU/ Mobo loop to start off, im going to add a gpu loop but that wont be for another 2 years once i decide to upgrade my graphic card, currently got an artic cooler accelero II so it's runs pretty cool and quiet. i overclock often and im a sound nazi so putting in this loop will be nice. heres my current computer build:
cpu: intel i-5 2500k oc @ 4.5 gb w/ 1.35 vcore, (will be upgrading to a 3550k)
mobo: asus maximus 4 gene z
ram: corsair vengence 1600 8 gb (2x4) (upgrading to 32 gb of gskil), 2 gb ramdisk
gpu: xfx 6950 w/ accelero II, oced
SSD1: 120 gb vertex 4
SSD2: 128 vertex 3
HHD: 2 TB WD
PSU: Corsair TX 750
Case: CoolerMaster Haf X
and heres the water cooling set up i want to get, im looking for any advice here. im a complete noob so go ahead and rip this apart if u want. i have no idea about the fittings or tubbing. if i can mod my case (which im willing to do), im going to pack in a quad 120 mm radiator at the top instead of the trple 120.
