Hi guys,
I've put together a build that currently using that I've posted in the Corsair 750D builds forum but this is only at the halfway point. I'm now looking to fully custom watercool it so that I can also fit in my R9-280X with my main card for some crossfire fun.
So, I've got a 750D case, and I'll be cooling two X5650 hexacore processors with two Tahiti core GPUs. I think that I'll need a 60mm thick 360mm radiator at the very least; maybe with a 240mm radiator on the front panel.
I'm erring towards a bay reservoir with pumps built into it to keep it things simple and tidy. But my reason that I'm here is the closest that I've come to watercooling in the past is in the form of AIO coolers like the Corsair H series.
I've read through a lot of the sticky custom loop guide at the top of the forum, but I'm looking for good value option recommendations for my loop; especially if you're already running something like two GPUs and a CPU yourself.
I'm saying good value because I'm going to put items onto my Christmas list for my family and partner to buy me; of course the cheaper bits, like piping and barbs/compression fittings, will be more accessible.
I'm kind of limited with my primary GPU watercooling block if I want full coverage so the primary GPU block will be an EK-FC7970 DCII - Acetal+EN (Nickel) [3831109856291].
So what are your favourite bits, and your reasons for suggesting them for my build; this is for the whole build?
