If I am looking at the right case it seems like you should be able to get a 360 and 240 rad in the case easy. Just google your case with water cooling in the title and there will be many pictures. You could probably also search on here for ideas, and hopefully lists of what people use.

If you can get the d5 ex240 kit or if they have a d5 ex360 kit they would be suitable.

Will running 2 xspc dual bay res with a x20 pump in separate loops for gpu/cpu give me better cooling for each, or, would one MCP355 , etc., for both, in one loop be better? i'll be using a XSPC RS360 rad for the cpu, a Alphacool NexXxoS Monsta 140mm for the Titan loop? the two xspc dual bay res pumps will cost only $100.00. [the reason that i want to go on the cheap is because i had ordered a XSPC kit that was never delivered, it was lost or stolen, so, i am out of $160.00]

If budget constraint, then go for dual-loop with XSPC X2O 750 pumps. You only cooling CPU & one GPU, it should be enough for cooling. If possible, I recommend getting XSPC D5 Vario Dual 5.25" Bay Reservoir / Pump Combo & cooling your CPU and GPU in one loop. One 360mm rad should be enough for your loop (rule of thumb 120mm for each block & another 120mm for additional cooling).

[EDIT] FrozenCPU sell both XSPC RS360 & EX360 at the same price. I would recommend getting EX360.

what did you use to sleeve and to make the LED?

I used four 3V 3mm white LEDs. I powered them from the 12V wire from a molex connector. The wires in between the LEDs I just covered with some 1/4" black heatshrink (it would have been really difficult to sleeve the wire in between each LED and I planned on bending and tucking those wires out of sight anyway). I sleeved the two wires to and from the molex connector in some black PET sleeving from LutroO customs.

For anyone considering doing this, it's a very simple job if you have a soldering iron.

Thanks for the tip, it was just that i have already lost $160.00 on a lost/stolen delivery, and, 2 of these pumps are cheaper than one of the pumps/res that you have mentioned, being a somewhat weak pump, i figured to just do 2 separate loops with said pumps/res. now, if i can get reimbursed for the lost kit, i would use that loot on the better pump/res!

Just checking if i've understodd you right: you take the 12V cable put in a resistance for 3V then connect the cable as mentioned and on the last LED you connect to mass?

I didn't use any resistors. My source voltage is 12V from the 12V yellow wire on a molex connector. Each LED has a forward voltage of 3.0V-3.2V so four of them can take 12V-12.8V when wired in serial. If you use colored LEDs instead of white LEDs they will have a lower forward voltage and you will probably have to use resistors.


This site is a useful tool for figuring it out. http://led.linear1.org/led.wiz

I hope that helps.
