How does this setup look. I know it's a quad (will go in a t-j07) but in the future it will be coolong SLI or Crossfire and NB. Also can you get a 1/2 to 3/8 connector as I want to include my memory in the loop.

the shrouds only help about 1 or 2 degrees, not worth it unless you want absolute maximum performance, you might also want a bit more feser, not sur if 2 litres is enough for that huge rad
 
I'm looking at that pump/res and cpu block for my first WC build, but have read it's not a good match due to the high restriction of the block and the relatively low head of the pump. Have read here and elsewhere that the D-Tek Fuzion V2 is a better match for the XSPC Dual 750.
However, I haven't read what the difference in temps would be between the two blocks, using that pump/res, would be interested to know.

Edit*
Read the quote from a guy who tested as in the video.
He really rates the pump/res btw, just not with high restriction blocks!

Quotes from his review...

As you can see the XSPC dual bay reservoir pump does particularly well with the low restriction blocks and radiators of XSPC. Even though it's not a pump as powerful as the Laing D5 or DDC 3.2, if you combine the pump with the relatively low restriction components like the XSPC CPU Delta V2 and their RS line of radiators, you can maintain more than adequate flow rates for even multiple block loops and you'll do so at very low heat dump created by the pump. This particular pump also has the advantage of very low heat dump compared to more powerful pumps. So in the end if you select a pump with low heat dump and blocks and radiators with low pressure drop, you can create a very well balanced and efficient system. The key to pumps is to select a pump that has adequate pumping power with minimal heat dump for the selected components

Conclusion

I'm very impressed with bay reservoir pump for several reasons. First while it is a smaller pump, it still has plenty of power to run multiple block systems as long as the components are chosen and matched wisely. But more importantly it can do this with very minimal power consumption and with silence. In addition the large dual bay reservoir does a great job at bleeding and can operate with a varied level of coolant so the old problems I've seen with my old bay reservoir would not be an issue here. Also I like the nice large clear front view, it looks nice but it also functions to provide you with a visual on coolant levels and the slight movement in water would indicate all is well with the pump and flow rate is good. Finally the low power consumption and heat dump is very important particularly for smaller radiator systems where it counts the most.

I like that cpu block as it will show off the fluid, might have to consider the liang 18w ultra then and a bay res or would that XSPC Dual be o.k with a XSPC Edge Acrylic CPU Waterblock

Yeh, that's one of the things that drew me to the block, the see-through top!
I'd still like to know whether the XSPC 750 would work OK with it. If it's only a degree or 2 compared to the Fuzion 2, I think I could live with it!

*Edit

I've just read a post by Firestar 3x who's running similar to the above, and he seems perfectly happy with it, great temps.

"CPU Loop is running :
XSPC Dual 750 Bay
EK Supreme - Acetal
XSPC 1/2" High Flexibility PVC Tubing
Alphacool NexXxos Xtreme II Rev2 Double Radiator
2x Noctua NF-P12 120mm Silent Case Fan

VGA Loop :
XSPC X2O 750 Pump and Reservoir
EK-FC8800 GTX - Acetal
XSPC 1/2" High Flexibility PVC Tubing
Alphacool NexXxos Xtreme I Rev2 Single Radiator
Noctua NF-P12 120mm Silent Case Fan

The VGA loop was running the Single bay XSPC pump & Bay combo but i wasn't as happy with it as the dual bay XSPC, went with the XSPC X2O 750 because OCUK didn't have what i needed in when i visited the shop today and i couldn't put up with the noise any longer.


@ 3.8Ghz & 1.5v OCCT says 27 - 25 on all cores idle, full load for a while, now seems to go no higher than 40 - 42.

GFX is 45 idle and about 60 full load.

Really can't hear the fans i've got they are expensive but fantastic."

I've also seen some mosfet blocks for my MB would these be to restrictive in the loop? After reading some reviews on blocks and resistance the V2 might be a better choice but still got time to think as no GPU blocks in stock. So with a cpu, mem, nb , gpu and mosfets in one loop do you guys still think that that bay/res/pump would still be upto the job?
