Hey guys,

I posted a thread a few days ago and I was given a spec by Avenged7Fold.

I currently have an NZXT Phantom Enthusiast case which won't support a 360 radiator, so I was wondering if anybody had any idea what I would have to mod to get this to fit?

And the water cooling parts are;

YOUR BASKET
1 x EK Water Blocks EK-Supremacy Clean CSQ - Acetal £49.99
1 x EK Water Blocks EK-CoolStream PE 360 (Triple) £49.99
1 x XSPC Photon 270 Tube Reservoir £46.99
1 x EK Water Blocks EK-CoolStream PE 240 (Dual) £39.95
1 x EK Water Blocks EK-DCP 4.0 PWM (12V DC PWM Pump) £39.95
1 x XSPC Hose Cutter (0-25mm) £6.95
2 x Primochill Primoflex Advanced Tubing 13/10 - Clear £5.99 (£11.98)
12 x EK Water Blocks EK-CSQ Fitting 10/13mm G1/4 - Black £2.99 (£35.88)
Total : £291.25 (includes shipping : £8.00).



I also imagine I'll need to buy some fans for the radiators too?

Cheers guys! :D

EDIT: Would I be able to get away with an external radiator?

Thanks.

I do plan on cooling the gpu too so I'd definitely need the 360.

Fair enough about the hose cutters, pretty sure I actually have some lying around anyway.

What fans would be good? I've thrown the budget out of the window if im honest.

Cheers!

Would I not.need 5 fans if I have a triple+dual rad?

also my case has a fan controller built in, I'm used to being deaf and being blown away - you should hear this graphics card at 100% fan speed!

Cheers! :)

You would get five of one of the ones he listed :)

I had SPs and can't recommend them, quite noisy. How well do the Noctuas perform at low RPM (~1000) in terms of noise?
Click to expand...

Oh I guess that makes sense haha.

Any reason why the 2000 and 3000 fans are the same price?

Cheers! :)
 
Ah, well I have a 5 fan controller that come on the case.

Would you recommend going for the 3000RPM Noctuas or going for the SP120's?

Thanks!
 
If they're as loud as the Windforce fans on the 780 at 100% fan speed (which is what I use at the moment, massive overclock on it) I'll be shocked! :P

That's on top of the two fans I have for my CPU heatsink, and the 4 fans I have on my case :/

Ah fair enough.

Cheers for all your help mate, will be ordering this the second I get paid...

You'll probably hear from me again when I'm stuck setting the thing up! :p

Thanks again! :D
 
Cheers mate,

Gonna order one now as it's only on one day discount.

Will help me figure out how to mod the case to fit the 360 too.

Thanks again! :)
 
Just found this online - http://cdn.overclock.net/d/d0/d010f7b6_IMG_1434.jpeg

Now I could be completely wrong, but it looks like it's going; Res > CPU > Rad > GPU > Rad > Res then repeat

Is that right or am I completely stupid? :P

It also looks like he's having to use a Bay fitted Res/Pump combo.

Which would be the better option?

YOUR BASKET
1 x EK Water Blocks EK-DCP 4.0 PWM X-RES (incl. pump) £74.99
1 x XSPC X2O 750 Dual Bayres/Pump (Black) V4 £59.98
Total : £144.56 (includes shipping : £8.00).



Not sure if the DCP will fit in the bay though?

Cheers!
