I'm planning on doing a loop, I already have the water blocks and a fan controller, and any required tools are provided by Cleeecooo (he's the one actually putting it together xD)
Here's my basket

YOUR BASKET
1 x EK CoolStream RAD XTX (360) £74.99
1 x OcUK Tech Lab - 10w DDC Pump & Alphacool Acetal Top Value Combo £62.99
1 x Phobya 5,25" Dual Bay Reservoir Black £32.99
1 x Mayhems Aurora - Tharsis Red Coolant 1L £14.99
4 x Scythe Gentle Typhoon 120mm 1450 RPM - 3 Pin £12.98 (£51.92)
1 x Masterkleer Hose Pack PVC 15,9/11mm (7/16ID) Clear 3.3m £10.88
15 x EK PSC Compression Fitting 7/16 [16/12mm] - G1/4 - Black £3.50 (£52.50)
1 x OcUK Value PSU Bridging Connector (24 Pin) £1.30
Total : £314.63 (includes shipping : £10.00).

N.B Out of stock items I already have, and the pump is actually Cleeecooo's old D5+Top, I just put that one in for a similar price. The extra fan also goes at the back of my case.
So, any problems?

looks good

does that mean cleeecooo's getting a new pump?

£1.30 for a paperclip?

IF you've got a fan controller I'd recommend getting 1800rpm scythe GT's instead (just in case the extra cooling power is needed)

Why have you got 15 fittings

Aurora is not really an everyday coolant, it's meant more for shows etc. You'd do better to switch it for Pastel or X1 IMO

Fine apart from the amount of fittings as said previously, you could change the res to a tube one if you wish.

For use on waterblocks etc. as I'm replacing all the tubing, and one spare fitting in case I lose one

Fair enough, but I'm still wondering about thatt

I prefer a bay res really

No idea. Probably, unless he recently got one (or he's sneakily selling me what I got him to sell for me)

You still only need 9 fittings if you want one spare.

My advice wound be get some 2000rpm yateloons and a fan controller

will probably be a little cheaper plus you have more cooling power on tap if you need it.

The loop's got 2 gfx cards as well and it's 3 spare I wanted xD
Will 150 rpm (over the 1850 version of the gentle typhoon) make much of a difference?

ah right.

The speed difference will make at a guess 2-3 c but the noise will be more.

Unless you can control them

what cards you cooling.

Gtx 580 + 8800 Gtx, with a 2600k thrown into the mix as well
I have a fan controller yes

KiiYzOo · 13 Feb 2012 at 09:42

did cleeecooo sell you those?

(not the 2600k)
