ok i never water cooled so im new to this, i want to do 2 different loops for my 780i board
Loop one would be:
swiftech res-->3x120 danger den rad-->Dd CPU-->all in one bitspower s/n bridge-->top mofset-->dd pump--> and around...
loop 2:
swiftech res-->3x120 danger den rad--> left mofset-->260 ddvga-->260 ddvga-->dd pump

all of this will be with 1/2 tubing.
what do u guys think would this be allright?
i calculated it should run me $900, it will be sitting in an 1200antec

I would bypass the mosfets and just put nice passive air cooling on them.
Thermalright has some nice mosfet coolers that will get the job done.
Just think it would be too much restriction.

yeah i was thinking the same thing but i wasnt sure of the heatsinks will provide enough cooling but on the otherhand it is antec 1200, ok well that will save me like $100.

I like those Bits power all in one blocks for the NB and SB but even their own web site
states that they are very restrictive and should be used in a bypass configuration.

I would def skip the mosfets. I can freeze icecubes in my 1200, so I would slap on some nice heatsinks and consider using 1 loop instead. You can save yourself the cost of another pump as well!
javier was it easy for you to overclock the 9550 processor? I have a C1 Stepping and a 750i ftw, would i be able to hit 3.4 under water easily? i have 8GB of ram which i overclocked to PC2-8500 speeds, i think i'll need to underclock it before i overclock the processor

Hitting 3.4 should not be a problem.

Ideally, the order of your loop should be:
res -> pump -> rad -> components -> res

I didn't have an issue overclocking, but my mobo is a monster when it comes to overclocking quads. You should be able to hit 3.4 easily...

Yea, watercooling the mosfet is unnecessary
yeah it just looks really nice when all of the stuff has the piping cuase there is going to be two colors, but here is the picture of what it is going in right now:

here is the case where its going in but it would be nice to have all that water cool presentation wise
