Hi there guys am new to this forum and i just got myself a nice looking switch white 810 case.
Am thinking of going custom water cooling the first time after using closed water loop for a while now.
Spec are as followed
I7 4770k
2x gigabyte 770
1600 vengeance 2x4gb ram
Asus maximus hero mobo
120gb force SSD
Seasonic 750w PSU
Am currently deliding my cpu now.
One SLI Is the max i would go.
Alright just some question i would like to clarify before i start my build.
Is a 750w psu sufficient for a water cooling loop with my current hardware ?
Am currently thinking of using a 420 and a 240 rad. Flow of air would be bottom to top as exuast.
I see a common build flow would be pump - reservoir - rad - cpu - vcard - vcard - rad. Wouldn't it be better common sense wise to go pump - reservoir - cpu - rad - vcard - vcard - rad ? Is the first really matter, or it doesn't really matter. If the latter really is better, why would people choose the first ?
Black ice 420 extreme rad is 20 fpi but why is it such a unpopular choice ? Shouldn't more fpi equate to better cooling ?
I see that 420 thin version, < 40mm is very popular in switch 810. Why so ? Are they able to cool it like the big brother ?
360mm rad vs 420mm rad with 8 or 9 fpi is a popular choice among switch user. Are they really good as compared to one with better fpi ?
How much different will it make if i will to get a 360mm 8/9 fpi rad or 420 < 40mm thick rad vs a 420mm, 50mm < thickness rad? Will it be a big different ?
One reason that i would consider a 360 rad is because of gentle typhoon. Will gentle typhoon 1850 rpm with an adaptor be able to fit on 420mm, 40mm < thickness rad ? And will it outperform 140mm fans ?
What is the best performing 140mm fans ? From what i read, cougar seem to be a popular choice. May be leaning to bitfenix due to its led, but will the bitfenix be up to expectation ?
What is the best 420mm rad that i can fit into switch 810( i have done a lot of research but frankly, i am still searching for the answer. ) from what i know black ice stealth fit nicely with out mod, that is why people chooses them, but performances wise is it better to get other rads ? If so, which can provide the best temp for my current hardwares ?
My country only carries xspc and ek rad. Is it worth the trouble to get better rads from the states ? Performance wise is it significant?
So sorry for the loads of questions. Any help will be gladly appreciated. Thank you for helping out. Really sorry once again for being a bother.
