I'd say one massive loop with a GTX480 radiator.

Yeah a 480 would handle CPU,GPU's @ NB easily with decent cfm fans on it..Fans and HSF are more then enough for the rest of it..

Thanks for the advice got a lot more than expected, and I will definitely upload pictures when the build is done.

i must be insane then lol. i got the 480 w/8 kaze (highest CFM) to cool only a q6600 and a 8800gt

How does this look for a dual loop:

Loop 1
Pump: DD-CPX1 12v Pump
Reservoir: XSPC Passive 150mm Reservoir Black
Radiator: Black Ice GTX120
CPU Block: D-Tek Fuzion v2 CPU Block
Motherboard Block: ViperJohn 790i SPP Chipset Water Block

Loop 2
Pump: DD12V-D5 Pump Variable Speed by Laing
Reservoir: XSPC Passive 150mm Reservoir Black
Radiator: Black Ice GTX240
Video Card Block: Danger Den Tieton GTX280 Copper Block
Video Card Block: Danger Den Tieton GTX280 Copper Block


The case is a Coolermaster COSMOS 1000, I plan to use either 3/8" or 1/4" tubing, any suggestions for things to change are appreciated.

would a single 120mm rad even handle a overclocked quad?

Would I be better off with a GTX240?

Why would you need watercool your HDD's? Also the RAM does not need watercooling so you only need two loops for your GTX280's and the CPU/NB/SB!

pixie

why would you modify anything on your computer then? you don't need to modify anything. all computers run perfectly fine stock and will continue to run that way until a manufacturer defect becomes apparent.

if someone wants to water cool something, let him/her. don't just say "that's not what i would do, so you shouldn't either." give some pro's and con's... you know, objectively. if they end up wanting to spend a little more cash, then by all means, let them.

RAMDAC

I would even recommend seriously a 4 loop but I'm sure nobody wants to hear that.
