Custom water cooling setup help?

post #1 of 58
Thread Starter 
Hi my name is James.

I would like to learn to overclock my rig but i want to keep my temps down in the process.

I have a Phantom case and i will be modding it to fit a triple rad in there, so don't worry about that.

The water cooling setup i would like is.....

1.a dual bay res (but i don't know which is good as some report have said they crack and leak but don't know what to believe)

2. a d5 strong pump

3. CPU block (most be full copper/ low restriction)

4. a triple rad (i don't care how thick it is but don't know which ones are good)

5. a gtx 670 full water block . (hoping to find full copper)

6. strong ass fans high rpm the more cfm the better

7. compression fittings ( high flow barbs)

8. tubing(don't know which is better in size but i will pick a uv reactive tube as i know i dont want dye in my blocks

if you could recommend a kit or parts for around 450 bucks i would be so happy.

i also don't mind reading reviews of this stuff im just having a hard time finding 2012 reviews on the res, pumps, cpu, gpu blocks and rad

who are the king of kings right now?????

Something along the lines of what I ordered recently might work for you, My order: (change out whatever it's just a simple basis)

70135b82_WCbuylistfosho.png

You got the bay res, strong fans, T-block for a drain tube, 360 rad, nice compression fittings, cpu block. I don't know about 670 blocks, so that and the UV tubing is on you.

I compromised with the ex360 though, It's solid, but the black ice, alphacool nexxos are better with high rpm fans. I went with the ex360 because the 35mm thickness would be easier for me to work with considering I have to mount a couple kuhler rads (for my lightning xtreme's) too. Also got my pump from bmaverick who can be contacted here on OCN

for radiator reference: Bundy's 360 rad roundup

Yeah I was just posting my entire order, you don't need the fan controller. It's really nice though, and can easily put 3 fans on each channel.

The T-Block is for a drain tube

I take it you already have a pump?
Because there isn't one listed there.

You'll need to add in:
Laing DDC-pump 12V DDC-1T
http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=33259
($73.99)

Still under budget but don't forget the pump kinda need it.

No.
If you want to go copper tubing that's a whole new ball game.
