Help with adding water to my 650D

so in theory a single 120 and a dual 120 which is the same is enough

so a dual 140 and single 200mm is scope for the future - oc 2600k and oc 2 580s?
 
I am not that bothered about noise - I am tring to keep the overall cost down.
I would be lovely to go all out but its not possible really

I hadnt budgeted in my life to do this - but my H80 needs to go in for RMA and I was thinking do a swop for water and then sell the brand new replacement.

That way I have minimal PC down time - right on top of xmas is never the best time for free ££ :)
 
My H80 has just died

I am my phone ATM but want to use the forum via a laptop but can't remember my password. I have it autosaved.

How can I get it please??

Thanks
 
I have been, I wondered if I could get away with a 55mm 280 one with fans without it interfering with a mobo

Rather than play safe with a 30ishmm think one?
 
Of course i have measured but it's hard to tell exactly where it will sit.
Someone who has done it already will know

You post on here for help - telling me to measure is not help, why bother posting that any way

I've just taken the plunge and ordered this lot:

1 x 280mm Koolance HF radiator (30mm depth)
XSPC Raystorm CPU waterblock
3.3 metre 3/8"ID 1/2"OD tubing - About £120

2 x Akasa Viper 140mm
1 x Coolermaster 200mm blue - About £35

Already got a Liang DDC + XSPC Bay Res + Fittings.

Thats £150 - which ain't too bad taking into account I should be able to rake back half by selling my H100 ;)

Only problem I can forsee is where the ATX power plugs in on the motherboard getting in the way - its probably gunna be a tight squeeze but should fit /fingers crossed

Thats very simialar to my idea - what Koolance did you get and where from?

I was looking at the 280 Koolance with 30 fpi - therefore would need good pressure from the fans. I was worried that would be no good - compared to a Stealth GT 280 - thats much lesser fpi ??

What was your thinking in getting that rad?
 
Questions

Is there any benefit or problem of a Double 5.25 Bay Reservoir over a single?

Whats the better pump to get the Laing 18w DDC-1T or the EK 4.0 (this has higher stats but £20 cheaper?

How much fluid will I need to get me going? - plan to buy premixed stuff with the algae and corrosion stuff already in?

Thanks
 
are pumps ok being turned on and off a lot - I turn my pc off every night generally?

is the fact it runs hot a problem?

Is the Laing D5 much better - its on special atm???

Tahnks

The 10w is £5 cheaper - so happy days and thanks for the tip.

I am guessing the 10w is man enough for 1 oc 2600k and 2 580s on a normal sized loop
with some future proofing in there preferably as well

Thanks
 
My plan is 2 rads a 280 and a 200

then cpu - with a decent waterblock not 100% which one yet.
Hard to decide new Rasa sounds good but not out yet typically and I am time short.
Worried about the EK ones as have seen on forum that they corrode ?

then one gpu to start with - then another in the future if necessary.

My case will only have 1 intake - thats the 120mm exhasut that I will use as an intake - I plan on running exhaust for both the top 280 and bottom 200.
does that make sense?

I might struggle to cool the pump - I was planning on it being near the dual bay 5.25 reservoir - maybe under it in the last free bay - its pretty cool in there?
or if it doesnt fit on the case floor - in theory the coolest place

what do you think - i am wc noob
 
I have got demciflex over my intakes now and will re-use them, good tip tho

wc is expensive trying to get it right 1st time as to not waste any money
 
What do I need to buy to link 2 580 gpus in sli

I have seen link type adaptors- however I am not sure what I need?
I will be using 2 EK 580 blocks
 
We are in exact same boat I am
Now thinking maybe 240 rad is better with gt s on?

I was thinking 2x 140 vipers off an akasa controller so can turn them up and down as necc.
I was thinking the 280 black ice stealth.
Where did you read it's no good mate please?
 
I see the temps for the koolance 280 looked great at high rpm but another chart I can't find now said the flow rate wasn't that great which out me off.

Can't find any koolance in stock anywhere?
Can you help / advise?
