Hey,

I'm new to this whole watercooled malarkly but I'm thinking of giving it a go for my new build.

What I want to know is what type of reservior and pump is the best? Personally I like the bay reseriours, but I'm sure I've read that these are not as good.
Also, is it better to do a single loop or a dual loop.
My plan is to put a 240 rad in the case.

The rig I'm thinking of building is:

  • Cooler Master CM-690 II Lite Dominator Case - Black
  • OcUK Battle 750W Dual Rail High Efficiency Modular '80 Plus' Power Supply
  • AMD Bulldozer FX-6 Six Core 6100 Black Edition 3.30Ghz (Socket AM3+)
  • EK Water Blocks EK-Supremacy Clean CSQ
  • Asus M5A97 EVO R2.0 AMD 970 (Socket AM3+) DDR3 Motherboard
  • Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9)
  • Gigabyte ATI Radeon HD 7850 OC Windforce 2x 2048MD GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
  • EK Water Blocks EK-FC7850 Full Cover Waterblock - Nickle Plexi

What are your thoughts on how I should do it and with what type res/pump and barbs?
Budget will be about £150 for the remaining components
 
Thanks for your input guys.

BTW Kei, have you cut your hdd enclosure or does it split like that?
And with regards to the top rad, are the fans mounted on top but inside the case, or are they mounted outside?
 
Ah, thanks for that. Great design by cooler masters letting the bays split.
BTW, love the braiding that you've done. Must have taken an age to do!
