Which pumps and how many would help give me the best cooling performance?

I might need more than just 2 pumps, maybe not, but this is my setup:

Nice
You need to work out a list of waterblocks etc so we can work out how much restriction will be in the system as every block is different if u want help with the other components I can help do a list .
I'd recommend getting on the Ek site configurator and pick what u like the look of .

Well, Im not really worried about looks very much. I just want the maximum cooling performance possible. So when picking the blocks, I'd like copper (it has one of the highest thermal conductivities), but i'd like it to be nickel plated to prevent oxidation. If there aren't nickel plated copper blocks, then I'd rather have full copper (assuming that it has the highest cooling ability)....basically whatever will give me the lowest temps is what I want haha

My motherboard is the ASRock x99 Extreme 11

For the RAM block, I'm curious what the difference between Clean CSQ and just CSQ is and what's better for cooling? Also, would acetal, nickel, or acetal+nickel have the best cooling ability?

For the CPU block, there's so many that I'm being pulled between several like the elite edition, the full copper vs acetal, EVO vs MX, etc.

For the GPU block, I have 4 titan X evga superclocked, and again I really have not much clue which would have the greatest cooling ability.

Can you help? :)

No budget really. The case I'd prefer to use is a CoolerMaster HAF X. And yes the piping will be Inconel 600 metal with ID of 5/8" and OD of 3/4"

Thanks

You are not going to fit those radiators in a haf x . Maybe look at the phantek primo or corsair 900d . You need a case that supports large radiators due to the amount of components .

You do realise just the water cooling components will cost $1500+

CPU block evo supremacy nickle
Gpu blocks full nickle with back plates .
I'm not familiar with pelter cooling so can't comment on those or the heat exchangers.
I'd run 1 reservoir 2 possibly 3 d5 pumps
240mm rad per component so that's a lot of rad space .

Those blocks look great, what do you think about the waterblock for the RAM?

And actually I'm thinking that I'll use 2, Koolance EXC-800 Portable 800W Recirculating Liquid Chiller and take out all the radiators. With the radiators I can't go below ambient temps, but with these two chillers, I'm pretty sure I could easily, and at a lower power cost than the TEC Peltiers.

Kind of like the following, except I forgot to paint in the reservoir for the bottom cooling loop and the 3 or 4 pumps:

That looks like it should work I'm doing a bit of reading on these external units never used them .
Monarch x4 ram blocks .
I did read that no silver be used with nickle and the koolance but I think that relates to the heat exchangers

What's better for cooling, nickel or acetal or acetal + nickel?
What's the difference between CSQ and Clean CSQ?

Yea, I've never used them either, but I think it just super cools the water (like a refridgerator) using R-134a refridgerant.
Cant even use a silver killcoil?

EK Configurator For ASRock X99 Extreme 11

For the CPU block, did you mean:
EK-Supremacy EVO - Nickel [3831109800065]
EK-Supremacy EVO - Nickel (Original CSQ) [3831109800140]
EK-Supremacy EVO - Full Nickel (Original CSQ) [3831109800171]
EK-Supremacy EVO - Full Nickel [3831109800188]
EK-Supremacy EVO X99 - Nickel [3831109800362]
EK-Supremacy EVO X99 - Full Nickel [3831109800379]

And is there anything special about the EK-Supremacy EVO Elite Edition - Intel 2011-3 [3831109800324]

The last one.
Mostly cosmetic and extra ports for temp probs etc
Not really a difference in cooling in coating pretty much pick what you like the look of in the evo supremacy range .
From what I can see with the chiller u can run that in the loop without the heat exchangers.
I would use a biocide rather than a killcoil

wouldn't a copper cpu block cool far better since it's thermal conductivity is around 400 (W/(m•K)) and nickel's is between 60 and 90 (W/(m•K))?

and silver can't be used with nickel because of galvanic corrosion, due to dissimilar metals, I believe
biocide should be fine

do you think eliminating the heat exchangers would boost cooling performance?

The difference in temps would be 1-3deg it's more to do with the block design .
Yer I would try to stick with the same type of metals to prevent corrosion .
I'm think to make the loop simpler and less pumps needed .

Nickel and copper are not dissimilar metals so they won't corrode, you can actually plate nickel onto copper piping. Digital Storm has done this in some of there higher end PCs.
But I think I will remove the heat exchangers from the loop.

How many pumps would I need if I did that?
