Hey there all...

...so I've decided to take the plunge and build myself out a bit of a belter of a watercooling rig. At the moment I've got mobo/CPU/RAM/discs, however am going to go SLI on my existing GTX580 with the new build. As such I'm thinking of the following - list isn't complete but slowly getting there. Comments welcome on the gear I'm buying - and if someone can help with a suitably high end pump suggestion (~1200 - 1500 lph) it'd be much appreciated...

Cheers :)

1 x Silverstone Temjin TJ07 case
1 x Corsair AX 1200 PSU
1 x EVGA GTX 580 Superclocked

1 x CPU Block - EK-Supreme HF - Acetal+EN - EAN: 3830046990471

3 blocks and a 480, there is a fair bit of water that's circulating around the system and a lot of restriction, it isn't pump speed in lph that you need most, it's pump pressure in terms of delivery head.
i.e.
Laing DDC 18w has 4.7m delivery head.
Laing D5 has 3.7m.
 
A D5 will tick all your boxes at 1200lph and 3.7m head.

Remember to use a padded/sound-insulated mount and the unit will be reasonably quiet when you run it at max settings.
