I'm starting new WC Build Tomorrow.
Components:
Case:
Arc Midi R2
Mother Board:
Maximus V Formula
Processor:
Delidded I7-3770k overclocked to 4.9Ghz @ 1.415v Load Temp: 70 with Kraken X60
Memory:
16GB Corsair Dominator Platinum 2133Mhz overclocked to 2400Mhz
Storage
2 Intel 520 240GB Raid 0 with 2 WD Black 1TB Raid 1
Graphics:
2 Asus GTX 770 DicrectCu II OC
This is a my present config as it stands. Everything tested and working but I'm getting too much heat from graphics cards as they exhaust into the case. I have a Kraken X60 cooling the CPU and it does a great job. But if going to cool the GPU'S might as well do a full water cooling loop.
Water Cooling
Radiators
Alphacool NexXxoS Monsta Dual 140mm Radiator (For front of the case)
Alphacool NexXxoS UT60 Full Copper Dual 140mm Radiator (For top of the case)
CPU Block
XSPC RayStorm CPU Water/Liquid Cooling Block - SPECIAL RED VERSION
GPU Block
EK-FC680 GTX DCII Backplate - Black
EK-FC770 GTX DCII - Acetal+Nickel
EK-FC Terminal DUAL Parallel 3-Slot
RES/PumP
EK-D5 X-RES 100 CSQ - Acetal (To save space)
Tubing
PrimoChill PrimoFlex Advanced LRT Tubing 1/2"ID x 3/4"
Coolant
EK EKoolant Premium Liquid Cooling Premix Coolant - 1L - Blood Red
Fittings
EK G1/4 Thread Perfect Seal Compression Fitting
Hope all goes well. I got all the parts today and will post pics as I build it up tomorrow.
I have one question about the Maximus V Formula. How do I water cool the board with my current tubing size or should I just skip it?
