Insight on my planned WC loop

Hey first post but ive been lurking the forum for a couple years now. Built the rig last year before bulldozer launched (and right before the benchmarks came out ) but havnt really been regretting the decision. The amd 955 has been holding me over and I plan to upgrade to the fx-8350 when it launches. Going to WC the CPU and the GPU's. Figured id go with universal waterblocks since the 6950s are a little older. My case is a CM HAF 932 advanced.

Heres a list of my parts list ATM

Not to sure on the fans but due to clearance between my graphics card and bottom rad ill prob go with these

Scythe Kaze-Jyuni Slim Slip Stream 120mm x 12mm Fan - 2000 RPM - http://www.frozencpu.com/products/9124/fan-570/Scythe_Kaze-Jyuni_Slim_Slip_Stream_120mm_x_12mm_Fan_-_2000_RPM_SY1212SL12H.html?tl=g36c15s972

For the top fans id like some suggestions if anyone has them.


Ive doodled a couple of loops, what do you guys think of them. Ill prob go with the first one





and here is the case at the moment





Currently ive for a 230mm on the case side cover aswell so that should give me some extra air flow into the case, although ive been thinking about doings a full window mod/buying the full window 932 haf cover. Ive used martins pump/rad flow calculator and calculated the approx. heat from my components and i think this should be enough. I will be overclocking the fx-8350 and a slight over clock on the GPU's.

Also ive looked around for some GPU cover blocks because the red board on the 6950's doest match the color scheme. has anyone ever made their own or modded the back of their board? maybe ill just have to bite the bulletand buy the covers or live with it

What are your guys thoughts on this/input build. Thanks
