looking for one that will fit in the top of a Xigmatek Elysium case
with a thick enough radiator that will not touch the motherboard when in the top of the case with fans......

this is incase my solder job fails at the weekend in fixing the current radiator on the top, though i have to figure out how to get that dam screw out.
 
Ah i had the same thing happen with my rad, i just drilled the hole out, washed out all the crap and found a nice round bit of brass and soldered it over the hole, i actually didnt have my plumbing gear cause it was on a job, so i did it over my hob lol :)
 
Depending on how much room you have above the motherboard in that big old case then a alphacool monsta or ut60. Also the phobya g-changer v2 os another one that is a good performer
 
purchased a phobia monster 360mm radiator i just hope the depth fits its going to be a tight fit......... just need to figure out whats best push or pull
 
Well installed the new rad and now i have run into a underflow issue :(
the pump does not seem to be powerfull enough .... flow rate is really slow.

------

pump - 360 radiator - 360 radiator to cpu to 420 radiator then back to gpu then back to pump.

think its run out of ooompf lol

EK DCP v4.0 pump/res combo

current pump, any recommendations for a a more powerful pump with res included or without. though if you recommend a pump without res attached what res also do i need....
 
thanks for the tip :)

currently my system is not getting any flow i can actually see bubbles in the tube that wont move and the res is actually far to small aswell for the amount of liquid thats going through 2x 360 rads and 1x 420 rad....

so when i power off the system the liquid overflows the res

and that issue happens cause i cant get enough of a flow rate through the radiators to push out all the air in the radiators.

D5 + res is the way to go then.........
will look for the best ones on ocuk and purchase next week i just hope my system works fine until then and does not clog up cause of the flow not moving.
 
previous : EK DCP v4.0 pump/res combo

OcUK Tech Lab - XSPC D5 Vario Pump & EK-D5 X-RES 140 CSQ Value Combo

Purchased this... i hope its more powerful than the previous pump i had cause that one does not have enough strenth to get around the loop

My ek 4.0 kept up fine with 3 240mm rads, 2 780s and a cpu though so I'm not sure a d5 is the be all and end all...

Well it has to work, if it does not work then i dont know what to do...... with the 4.0 im loosing flow rate.... i dont know any other way to fix it other than get a more powerful pump... this pump should be quite a bit more powerful 1200lph compared to 700-800lph with the 4.0.

really its my last hope to fix this issue.

also 3x 240mm rads and cpu and gpus are pretty small
considering mine is going through cpu/gpu/2x 360s + 1x420... also there monsta rads that are really thick and require high flow and the 420mm rad is fitted externally so the tubing in my loop is quite long so need more flow rate to fix it.
