hey guys, this month I'll be getting in my second 5770, and another 4gigs of ram, and also another HDD. I think I've gotten everything except a WC setup. This is where you water cooling gods come into play, I'd like for you guys to build be a setup under $300(or a little over I don't mind), I'd like for it to look like it came form murder mod(post pics if you can!!). Some questions I have in mind:

- how long will installation take?
- what are the real life risks?
- if I change processors/gpi in the future will it be difficult with the WC?
- what are monthly/weekly checks do I have to do?
- maintenance?

oh almost forgot, the target for water cooling, CPU/GPUx2 and maybe the mobo. I would also like a floating reservoir haha that is a must! Diagrams of the loop will also be helpful

Here's what I'd do:

Heatkiller 3.0 CPU block, or Enzotech Sapphire
Swiftech MCP 355 pump, with the Petrastech custom top
DangerDen Fatboy 1/2" barbs for everything
Black Ice Extreme GTX 360 radiator
Swiftech MCW-60 GPU blocks
Swiftech GPU RAMsinks
Distilled water and PT nuke
Swiftech Micro Res or EK150 reservoirs
Tygon 1/2" tubing (10 feet)
Panaflo fans
Subeamtech Rheobus Extreme fan controller
Swiftech MCW 30, for the motherboard

And that's what I'd do, roughly. It might be over $300 slightly, though.

if its not too much can you guys add links to the parts, thanks and keep em coming it has begun! lol

p.s. I really don't want to mod the bottom of my case for a 240 rad, if possible keep away from modding the case. If I have to get rid of block I would get rid of the mb block to avoid cutting into the case.

It prevents stuff from growing in your loop.
Look around for some used stuff. You can get a nice loop for $300 if you shop right.
For starters, the Enzotech Sapphire is a nice block, and it's only $35 from Newegg. Sometimes it has a combo with the fillport. You can get a nice used MCP655/ MCP355 with an aftermarket top for a nice price if you look. Check in the FS section. You don't need that much rad power for that Phenom and the 5770's. They don't produce much heat.

For the GPU's, just get 2 MCW60's with some ramsinks. For the res, you can use a T-line, or a cheap res like the Micro res. For fans, you can't go wrong with Petra's Yates. If you wan't more fan power, get some low end Panaflos.
