Case is 600T going to be cooling CPU for sure, and will cool GPU in the future when i have changed it for something that isn't blue, possibly a 7970 or 7950... spec in sig.

Colour scheme is black and white with grey as well, keeping to this is vital.

Swiftech apogee HD white
phobya extreme 200mm
xspc rs240 (or maybe triple in the roof if i mod my case) Decided on 360 rad +modding.
laing ddc 1+ ultra
ek laing ddc xres 100
bitspower black compression fittings (probably, not sure what angles to go for)
some tubing
mayhems pastel white

Um, i have found that the apogee seems to have a high pressure drop and the temps aren't exactly amazing for the price, would there be a better option a cpu block?

or have i been misinformed?
 
fair enough, that rad with a quiet fan wont perform much better than decent air when you add the gpu to the loop. If you can mod the top to take a 360 do that instead. The 600T doesnt leave a great deal of scope for watercooling, have you already got the case?
 
I have already go the case, and i dont really find any other cases very aesthetically appealing so i don't really want to change.

My birthday is coming up at the end of march and the plan is to get a 200mm rad for the front and a 360 for the roof (30mm max), plus waterblock for CPU and pump, tubes, fluid etc.

In near future i may upgrade to 7950 with black pcb and get that under water. Depends what news i hear of next Nvidia cards.
 
Fair play, you will probably need an external shroud to house the fans for the top 240 (from what I can tell anyway) there have been a few 600T modded to take a 240 in the front, but I think that generally means removing the HDD bays and using 5.25" adapters instead.
 
Top will be 360, and with a little modding they fit just under the grill. Tbh i could swear corsair's intention on an earlier design was to have 3x120mm in the top but they ditched it, because the fit is so perfect.

Also i dont really want a 240 in the front because a 200mm has more surface area and can fit without modding so is ideal.

Thanks for you input though, much appreciated. :D
 
A 200mm has more surface area but the fans have, usually, got a lower static pressure. As such performance is.... meh. Don't misunderstand, the 200mm will kill the noise but wont perform fantastically with a quiet 200mm fan. Either way, it will, probably, do what you want, which is be quieter.

EX rad instead of RS

Since im going for a 360mm rad now, i dont think xspc do one that is 30mm, the ex is 35.5 from what i can see. I have seen that hardware labs black ice 360mm and magicool 360mm are both 30mm thickness so one of those two is my only option for top i think.

The RS and EX are the same thickness (35.5)

The magicool is the king of slims (30mm)
