I can change the case / motherboard if required going for a white black look.

I have a budget of around £600

Spec me a loop please :) Would like to either have white tubing or white fluid. As this is my first build would be nice if the water was non conductive.

Really want to keep temps down but dont want it to be loud :)

Cheers for any assistance :)
 
Had a quick go myself probably completely wrong any feedback ?

Stressing abit about it all now :)

Also worrying about the radiator choices fitting ok.

For a drain this is what you need

YOUR BASKET
1 x Aqua Computer Ball Valve Female Thread G 1/4 without Fittings £5.99
1 x XSPC G1/4" 4 Way Fitting (Chrome) £3.95
1 x EK Water Blocks EK-CSQ Plug G1/4 - Black £2.29
2 x XSPC G1/4" 5mm Male to Male Fitting (Black Chrome) £1.79 (£3.58)
Total : £15.80 (includes shipping : Ex.VAT).




Fit it all together into your loop at the lowest possible point.Your also gonna need a SLI terminal bridge for the GPU's,or a couple extra fittings.

The 360mm rad wont fit in the bottom,the bottom rad has to be 125mm wide or less in that case or it wont fit.

Could i put the drain on the bottom rad ?

How do i know what terminal bridge to get ? if i dont what kind of fittings do i need.

Sorry for the silly questions watch quite a few videos but none that focused on SLI. ( or drains )

would this be suitable for the bottom rad ?

Nope,its crossflow rad,due to the placement of the bottom rad it would be impossible to hook up fittings to one of the 2 threaded ports.


YOUR BASKET
1 x Coolgate G2 Radiator 10 FPI - 360mm £67.99
Total : £67.99 (includes shipping : Ex.VAT).




^This is a standard version of that rad and should fit fineYou could put your drain port in the fifth 1/4 threaded port on the opposite end from the standard in/out threads :cool:

The terminal you need will depend on your motherboard and the spacing between the PCI-E slots

Highly unlikely an EK part will fit a bitspower block. In which case you need 12 fittings not 10.
