Hi' Guys,


My current spec:
MSI 6970 twin frozr (lightning)
q6600
Thermaltake Kandalf case
XFX 850PSU
Asus P5n-e(if i remember correctly) mobo


Can you confirm i have what i need:

EK-VGA Supreme HF - EN (Nickel) (have to buy else where)
EK Singe Bay Reservoir - Acetal £39.98
EK DCP 4.0 Pump (12v) £39.98
EK Supreme LTX CPU Waterblock - Nickel Plexi £32.99
Masterkleer Hose Pack PVC 15,9/11mm (7/16ID) Clear 3.3m £10.88
Mayhems X1 UV Oil Black Premixed Watercooling Fluid 1L £7.99
EK DCP Mounting Plate Kit with Anti Vibration Mountings £3.49
3x Akasa AK-FN058 Apache Black Super Silent 120mm Fan - 4 Pin PWM £41.97
EK CoolStream Radiator XT 360 (120.3) £48.98

Not sure where i get the extra bits for the GPU cooling for the VRAM etc, any ideas on the bits i'd need and i'll find out where to get them.
 
Another 1l of coolant.
Change the 360 rad to an XSPC EX 360.
Personally, I would change the pump too.

I wouldn't bother with RAM water cooling.

You will need fittings to.
 
no idea what fittings i'd need or use, i thought i'd need the VRAM cooled as the GPU blocks by EK only do the GPU itself and not the full card.

+1, or an EK XTX or HL SR rad

this, A DDC wouldn't hurt, maybe even a D5?

correct, but you need to cool the VRAM's :p

Go for OcUK 1/2 fatboy style barbs with masterkleer 7/16 tubing (clear)
And yes, you do need to cool VRAMS :)
 
You might get away withour VRAM blocks as there is already a heatsink on the card (the black metal) in this case all you would need is some decent airflow over the cards, from a fan or 2 on the case side.
 
think carefully about buying the elyssium, its BIG BIG BIG.. it will make any mid ATX board just look stupid

Look at things like the Antec 1100, Corsair 650D, BitFenix Shinobi, Corsair 800D, Coolermaster HAF....

Won't look too bad if you also stick a large tube res in there

Sorry, I thought it said "RAM" :( My bad!

A single GPU block with heatsink isn't it?

Also, I would go for like cleeco said, black nickle 1/2" fatboy style with the 7/16" masterkleer tubing.

I can take a picture of the barb fitting if you want?
