Anybody care to check this basket order over and see if anything is wrong or if i am missing anything please....

I would like just a single loop, and it's all going in my cosmos 2 case, so need a slightly slim rad for the top.

If you have any better recommendations then please do share.



YOUR BASKET
1 x EK-Supremacy Elite - CPU Waterblock - Intel 115x £89.99
2 x Aqua Computer AquagraFX - GTX 680 Water Block £89.98 (£179.96)
1 x EK Water Blocks EK-Coolstream RAD XTC 280 £59.99
1 x XSPC X2O 750 Dual 5.25” Bay Reservoir Pump £59.98
1 x Hardware Labs Black ICE Radiator GT Stealth 360 £49.99
1 x Masterkleer Hose Pack PVC 15,9/11mm (7/16ID) Clear 3.3m £10.88
2 x Mayhems X1 UV Blue Premixed Watercooling Fluid 1L £7.99 (£15.98) is 2 litres enough or too much or not enough?
12 x EK PSC Compression Fitting 7/16 (16/12mm) - G1/4 - Black £3.50 (£42.00) i calculated this by needing 2 fittings per item, is that right?
Total : £521.41 (includes shipping : £10.50).

 
I think 2 litres of fluid is enough, my loop with 2 gpus and CPU took 1.5 litres albeit I have quite a small res (150ml or so). 2 litres should be fine with that though...
 
Yeah i've already got plenty of fans and fan controller too, thanks.

Anybody else see any probs etc ?
 
Change the rad to something other than a black ice GT (the 360 that is). An XSPC EX would be a better choice.

The CPU block is a bit pricey for what it is, the only advantage of it over the 'standard' supreme HF is the looks, up to you whether that's worth an extra ~£30

The pump/res combo isn't he quietest, i personally found it to have an annoying hum, i'd suggest and EK DCP 4.0 pump, or, if within your budget, a D5 - one of the best pumps on the market
 
Ok so i've changed a few things, and after looking around on various sites have found that these vga blocks should fit my 4gb gainward cards.

Does this spec look ok?

Thanks for looking. :)
 
you need 2 more fittings, 12 in total :)

if you have the money, A D5 pump would be better :)

PS - have u checked ur cards are reference?

I'll add a couple more fittings.

I've been checking and the only slight difference is the power supply regulators, they look to be the same height. The rest of the board, ie; vram, mounting holes etc all line up and checked with coolingconfigurator and they confirm it should fit. So fingers crossed.

Thanks for helping.
 
Updated again :)

Is this pump res combo ok? I presume most of the d5 pumps are the same just different names?

All D5's perform the same and are essentially the same thing (MCP655), you do get the odd one that may have extra features like the Aquacomputer pumps that come with a tacho cable and USB connectivity.

You should be fine with that pump/res combo :)
 
I'd hold off buying the 7/16 EK PSC Black compressions just now, I ordered 6 on Thursday, only one of which is 7/16, the other 5 are 1/2 :(

They are all stamped with the correct OcUK stock code (WC-108-EK) but are the wrong fitting, someones screwed up stocking them it seems :(

Do OC know about it then?

I don't think i'm ordering for another week or so yet, just making sure i do my research first.

Thanks.
 
I've left a comment in CS for them with all the details to sort it out, as I'll need the ones I purchased replaced/refunded for as I don't use 1/2 compressions.

I'll be updating various threads in a couple of hours to help show others if they have the correct fitting or not.
