Hi, I trying to find parts for water cooling when I get money to buy them.

Can anyone suggest any parts or tips.

The bridge has already got a water block for watercooling system with 3/8" ID tubes or for system with 1/2" or 10mm ID tubes.

I'm thinking of getting two or one GTX 470 gpu's.

I had to remove the back plastic cover for the HDD raid sata connectors because of the bending of the connectors.

So I used a different cable, so the cover won't be able to fit.

Would something like on image work?
What size tube do I need?

I'm using a Striker II Extreme motherboard that gets quite warm.
Thank you

the 800D can use a 360 rad, no bigger, internally

unfortunately that's either enough to cool the two GPU's or the CPU and one GPU, so you'd probably need to do external cooling
 
The Corsair 800D is a great case to do water cooling in. Its maximum size support for a radiator is a 140.3 radiator.

I would recommend a reservoir and pump combo so you wont need the pump at the bottom.

I would recommend 1/2 barbs with 7/16 tubing for the best fitting and as for above comment a triple rad with 3 fans is enough to cool an overclocked i7 and x2 470's and keep them around 60 degrees so it will be fine.
 
The way you have it laid out you will want to fill the system with it lying on its back (i.e. reservoir at the top) Otherwise you will have trouble bleeding the radiator.

A 360 will do all that you want to cool but don't expect world-record temperatures. You may also need to use louder fans than you might like. Do you need two 470s?
 
I'm using a Corsair H50 for the cpu, I get temperature reading of 20c on a stock 3 GHz quad core?
What tube do I need for EK 470 GTX water block Threads= G1/4?
If it says G1/4" Ports, does it mean I need 1/4 ID tubing?
