Currently have a h100 and although its not bad, theres always better, so started going down my first custom watercooling route.

Specs are:

Thermaltake level 10 GT chassis
I5 2500k currently overclocked to 4.7Ghz
Asrock Extreme7 Gen 3 MB
Currently a nasty radeon 4870 but will be getting a 7970 depending on price etc and would like to WC this too eventually.

Will be selling the h100 so no parts are salvageable from that. I do have 2 x gentle typhoon 1850's already if useable.

Have already bought the OCUK pump and top deal and will be with me tomorrow:

Would like a double 5.25" reservoir. Mainly to keep the install tidy and also i love the look of these. Possibly the Koolance RP-452X2 if they ever come
back into stock as it will house the pump nicely.

I think the case is my limiting factor as it will only take a 240 rad at the top and then possibly a 120 at the rear top or base. Suppose i could do this with a hose joining the 2? Bit cramped inside though. I have no kids so the best way for me i think is to get an external 360 rad with some sort of bracket to mount from the top rear 120mm fan. Not quite sure which would be best as i do not want to drill into the case.

Also, are the Ek compression fittings a good choice? http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-123-EK&groupid=962&catid=1529&subcat=2079

Budget not really an issue, within reason, maybe another £350 ish.

So what would you recommend to complete the install and how.
 
Thanks for that. Ideally i dont want to drill the case if i can avoid it. Would also like to be able to mount it below the top of the case so its not protruding like the koolance. So would need something strong enough to hold it on the top fan mountings of the rad. :confused: Any ideas?
 
Sorry, didnt explain that very well. On the outside of the case i do not want the radiator poking up from behind. One option is the koolance and then a homemade rest for the bottom of the rad to stop it bending towards the case if you know what i mean. :rolleyes:
 
Ah cool, was not sure if it would be strong enough. Any ideas what that bracket is as i came across it while trying to find my answer.
