So i started work again recently and can finally build myself a new gaming rig for my upcoming huge lan party.
So i have been around the forums a bit getting advice for what gear would be best in terms of what graphics card to buy for adding a waterblock to,
all in all ive decided i will be using these waterblocks for the gpus
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-178-XS&groupid=962&catid=1520&subcat=2328
Whilst i am doing my build i will be using a noctua nh-d14 as a temporary cooler whilst i wait a month or two to buy the reaming bits for the build. The last thing i want to do once ive got all the components is a full waterloop and that's were i get a bit stuck, im confident in putting the loops together as i have done a few in the past for friends and family, but when it comes to specking a loop thats what im not confident with and know we have a few pros here on the forums and would really like a bit of help putting a loop together so here are some bits of information i gather you would need before designing a loop
Price, dose not matter i want the highest performance possible
case, Obsidian 800D (this can be changed for another case if necessary however i like the looks of this case and already have one being modded visually but if its not big enough for the loop im happy to use that elsewhere.
Cpu, Is a 3960X
Motherboard is Asus Rampage IV Extreme 2011
The Gpus are 4way Sli gtx 680's
I plan to heavily overclock the full machine and pull the best performance out of it therefor it definitely needs to be a high performance loop, like i said money inst a issue and if need be i can change the case upon recommendations. Thanks hugely in advance if you have any questions or i missed anything please please let me know il answer them ASAP.
