New water build for 1080ti

[Brizzles]

Thanks! but i guess the backplate which is in stock "backplate made from black anodized aluminum" is a no no..

The backplate is fine as it is not in contact with water

 

[roysters]

other then my sweat of pure fear as i build it... shouldnt be...

 

[Scottland]

That makes perfect sense! thanks. Wait is that £5.99 for 1... lol

also, may i ask what light you're using?

Yeah the cost of fittings quickly adds up!

The light I'm using is just a cheap white LED strip available from anywhere, it was only a few £ and plugs into a molex plug.

You don't need this
1 x Mayhems Fine Silver Kill Coil= £3.95

Again it's in your EK kit (concentrate which has everything you need to dilute it with water you are ordering).
Also EK kit has 3x120 fans for your 360 rad, do you have 2x140 fans for your 280 rad? (sorry if I missed it, just saw on your list bundle of 120 fans)

 

[roysters]

I knew there was something i was going to forget! Actually my Corsair carbide 540 came with 140mm fans. *Puts in a other order*

 

[roysters]

Yeah so my case already comes with corsair Air Series AF140L fans.

Do you think i need better fans for the radiator?

Those fans are really poor. Not much use for radiators.

depends if you want LED or not. looking for High static pressure with Radiators, EK tend to have a high fine density in their radiators then some others


My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x be quiet! Silent Wings 3 120mm PWM Fan= £19.99
• 1 x Alpenföhn 120mm Wing Boost 2 Plus PWM Fan - White= £8.99
• 1 x Corsair HD120 RGB LED 120mm High Performance PWM x 3 Fan Pack (Includes Controller)= £74.99
• 1 x Noiseblocker NB-eLoop Fan B12-P - 120mm PWM (2000rpm)= £15.95

Total: £128.62
(includes shipping: £8.70)


corsair is RGB, havent used them but personally like the other 3 on rads and often used by others. bit of a range in price. but im sure you get EKWB Vadar fans in the pack????

if your after case fans look for high air flow/ low sound ​

 

[roysters]

thanks, i need 140 ones. im thinking these..

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 2 x Alpenföhn Wing 140mm Boost 2 Plus PWM Fan - Green= £9.95

Sorry link was for something else
Corsair ML are quite good and two pack cost £30
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/cors...netic-levitation-fan-dual-pack-fg-056-cs.html

There are also more expensive versions depending how you plan your build to look like.

 

[roysters]

more expensive!! yikes, those look good, 2 for £30 seem decent. Thanks

 

[haszek]

Also your case can have 360 rad only in the front, which means 280 is going to the top. Is there enough of space for 45mm rad+25mm fan? not sure, I would check some reviews just in case, that motherboard is not too close.

 

[roysters]

well i hope so or im buggered as ive ordered for saturday delivery!

"you can mount up to six 120mm or five 140mm fans, with 280mm top radiator support and room for a 360mm radiator on the front panel"

 

[roysters]

Actually i think its wise if i swap the 280 to a 240... just to be safe..

It's about a thickness If you're changing to 240 you can change to PE (it's 40mm thick). Then I believe there are cheaper fans 120 EK vardar, like you have in your EK kit.

Also you have valve in your order
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/ek-water-blocks-ek-af-ball-valve-10mm-g14-nickel-wc-900-ek.html
But if you look on the photos it has two inner threads so you would need male to male fiitting to be able to fit it somehow.

Something like this:
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/bits...le-to-male-thread-shiny-silver-wc-119-bp.html

and to fit this together you would need to split the flow

for example like this:
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/bits...cooling-accessory-shiny-silver-wc-079-bp.html

That's what I did, but I'm no expert so it was just how I though it would work. Watch Jayz2cents video of his Ryzen build. You can see how he fitted valve in a similar way, just to get an idea.

 

[roysters]

ha, so i need those last 2?

 

[haszek]

Just one of each, you could fit it for example directly to your pump/res, then one way would go the flow toward GPU for example and the other way would go male to male fitting+valve+stop plug which you already had in the basket.

Or you can fit 90 angle fitting to it, then male to male and valve. Things like that just depends what suits you the best or looks the best for you.

those are 140mm with 120mm mounting so avoid
