Thank you for your answers and help so far.
About Mayhems Aurora, why is it not the best thing in a long run ? It is mix of dyes (Aurora silver + orange dye). Or does it effect the inside of tubing/waterblocks?

I think the deal is it may clog up over a short period (2-3 months) or so I read somwhere I think...


Basically it hasn't been tested and/or designed for long term use so don't use it really

It has particles (to give the bling factor) and its those that block stuff up and eventually ruin parts.
 
You were right about Mayhems Aurora, thank you. In that case do you know any other fancy looking orange color? And also I am getting a bit confused about the sizes of tubing and fittings there is quiet few of them.

what he said, basically avoid anything with moving particles in, if you want a better effect but last longer either coloured tubing with distilled water, mayhams pastel or X1, or maybe some sort of UV Orange if your in to that type of stuff, just avoid particles and you should be fine, its then down to your choice.

I personally have gone for Mayhams Pastel Orange on my build :)
 
I've just decided to go with Silverstone FT04 since there wouldn't be much space of me to place PC on my right side. Silverstone said that there should be no problems putting 360mm rad on the front. Also would every graphics card void warranty if I replace the stock cooler with waterblock ?
 
Theres a list somewhere of gfx cads where you can fit wateblocks without affecting warranty etc.

Or ask Gibbo/customer services.
 
As far as the Mayhems Aurora goes, the A2 is a lot more stable and last a whole lot longer, and is apparently fine for 24/7 use. I've been using the A2 blue for about 5 months, and all is fine and dandy.

For your GPU water blocks go onto EK's cooling configurator, just put in your cards details and they tell you what they can offer, it works for all make blocks, they even do a few for non reference cards, like the Strix. http://www.coolingconfigurator.com/
 
I've gone with 2400Mhz after doing some calculation :) . So now I need GPUs, PSU, Case, liquid system and some accessories . Also why do you guys so recommend SuperFlower, why not Corsair or something else and FT04 hides the PSU so I don't think the led would be a problem. :)
