hey guys!
More or less as the title is giving away I want to attempt to build my own custom watercooled system. I already have the system in a HAF932 case cooled by air but I want a quieter system more than anything.
The components I have looked at are:
1 x ocUK Tech Lab V12 Watercooling Kit 360 [OCUKV12-1][WC-042-OE]
1 x XSPC Razor 7970 GPU Waterblock (Raystorm Style) [WC-189-XS]
2 x OcUK 1/2" Barbed Fitting G1/4 - FatBoy Style - Black Nickel Finish [WC-298-OK]
1 x Mayhems Fine Silver Kill Coil [WC-022-MH]
1 x XSPC HighFlex Hose 7/16" ID, 5/8" OD 2m UV Red [WC-136-XS]
8 x Koolance Hose Clamp for OD 16mm (5/8in) [WC-097-KA] (just to be safe)
Total: £354.46
1 x Foam Silencing Kit - Cooler Master HAF 932 [CA-128-OP]
£24.98
The only thing I'm a little concerned about at this moment in time is the GPU waterblock since I have a Powercolor 7970 Vortex II edition graphics card and not sure if the waterblock will fit it (possibly a non-reference design board?)
At this moment in time I just want to cool my CPU (i7 2700k) and get a full cover GPU waterblock (7970). Eventually I may want to cool my chipset and/or ram using the loop too! I have a Gigabyte Z77X-UD5H motherboard.
Feel free to throw advice and suggestions my way, first time doing watercooling!
Cheers for the help!

. I'll email Powercolor to see if their board follows the reference design...last option!
