Which case can fit 480 radiators on top of it but cana have positive pressure??? Because i need to really cool my pc as i want to overclock it to the max.

Again, a single 480 isn't going to be all that the OP needs for dual loops, if that's what he's going for. It is a single radiator and a dual loop is defined by having 2 sets of components that run independent from one another...so you would also need another radiator somewhere. I think we're getting too hung up on only fitting a single 480 when there are many other options that could be done for this setup that do not require a 480 rad. A 480 would be fine if you were going to run a single loop or a hybrid dual loop, but you're effectively 'sharing' the single 480 radiator, which isn't (by definition) a dual loop.


I´ve got a intel i7 5930k but i am doing 2 different loops for my gpu cards(Gigabyte geforce g1 980 ti) and my cpu plus the motherboard(Asus Rampage 5)
 
Need more information, here. What are the 2 loops going to consist of each?

You don't have to be bound to using a 480, you can use more than one radiator in a loop. You don't have to get a case to fit a 480 but could find something that will hold a 360 and maybe a 240 and even a 140. It really depends. Don't paint yourself into a corner with a single, huge radiator if you don't need to.

Right, you mentioned all that, but that doesn't really get us any further. You have said only anything about a 480 radiator so far. You want 2 loops. What would be the rest of the watercooling loops for both systems?

If you want 2 loops, are you planning to share a radiator or are you going to actually run dual loops? If you are going to 'share' a radiator, you might as well only run a single loop.

Corsair 900D can fit a 480 on top, but for that, be prepared for a monster case, as any will be to mount a 480 internally. You'll need a full tower to mount an e-atx mobo anyways. It'll also fit a 360 up front, I don't see any reason a 360 wouldn't work for a cpu, no matter the OC. You'll hit voltage limits long before maxing a 360 since that'll be the only thing on that loop.

Apart from custom orders, I don't think I've ever seen a commercially sold case that'll mount 2x480 internally.

Well that's kinda what I was implying with the 900D. The 480 for the gpus and a 360 for the cpu. Or vice versa. Even with as little as I know about full open loop cooling, I can't see needing true dual loops. The 980ti's don't run that hot anyways, not like their amd counterparts, even the r9 295x2 only came with a h80i equivalent cooler. I'd like to think that even op's cpu and sli setup massively oc'd would be well within the limits of a 480 and 360 rad on a single loop with decent sized id piping.
 
Hah, no worries, oftentimes what's in my head doesn't translate well in writing. Personally, I think a 360 would cover just the cpu easily, my 3770k at 4.6GHz only pulls 64°C under p95 26.6 working all 8 on small fft on a kraken x61 silent. And if a 120mm can cool a 295x2, sli 980tis would be easy for another 360, even with massive OC.
