Hey I'm looking at this for a water loop and want to check to see if I've picked anything drastically wrong before I go purchasing parts.

CPU Block:
EK-Supremacy Full Nickel

GPU:
2 x Watercool Heatkiller X^3

Pump and res:
XSPC D5 Vario Pump & EK-D5 X-RES with a 400mm res

Rads:
Either:
2 x XSPC EX420
or
1 x XSPC EX420
1 x XSPC RX240

not included fittings tubing and fluid.
How does that look to people, have I gone terribly wrong somewhere?
 
I have space for 2 triple fan rads yeah,
are 120mm rads better than 140mm? I've heard some things against 140 but wasn't sure how much it mattered.
where might I go wrong with "fittings tubing and fluid"?
or are you meaning people getting wrong size tubing for fittings? and the routing of the tubes?
 
Yeah that annoyed me to be honest, seems strange to sell one thing that forces you to buy from another site hence why I didn't link any tubing as I didnt want to link another site
 
@stuie
Hmm very interesting article, might have to read into it more, if you can get comparable pressure from a larger rad those results are promising, obviously that's not comparing the different fans you could put on each size but those limitations are explained and discussed
 
To be honest......I dunno about 140mm...
I think I'll draw the rads out on the case and see how it look and if the 140mm will cause any problems/ make it crowded because I know the 120mm will fit and have better fans available

Also, if I have those rads will the difference between 120 and 140 make a diff if I have 2 triple fan rads?
