Ok I have a Titan X block from EKWB and a Koolance Radiator, 2x120mm 30-FPI Copper

I've picked out some fans for the radiator and a pump that will fit the case

Does it look ok so far?

Just need tubing and barbed fittings, oh and some kind of way to fill the reservoir.
 
You've picked a monoblock so you're cooling three components, not two. The best you can hope for is the same temperatures that you could achieve on air, and you'll likely need your fans running pretty high to keep the heat off the rads... So what's the point?

I just did a loop with a GPU and RVE monoblock, 2*240mm rads and a D5 pump. Temps for CPU and GPU are 45C under heavy load with fans on silent profile.

It costs upwards of £500, and to be honest if I was going to achieve the same heat and noise as I would on air then I would have saved my £500.

Is your case restricting you to 240mm rad space?
 
I see you're using a 240 rad for your CPU at the moment. What temperatures are you seeing with that cooler on your CPU only?

Bare in mind, the cooling capacity of your "new" cooling arrangement won't be much higher than what you have on your CPU at the moment.

Is the CPU overclocked at all? Which CPU is it?

It's a nice looking case, but watercooling both the CPU and GPU in there with only 2x120mm rads is a bad idea.
 
My main concern was the pump/res

I was going to stand it on the bottom of the case on the right hand side, however heat sink is then on the bottom and there is no airflow.

Size wise it's good I think

Click to expand...

it's a 6700k overclocked to 4.8ghz, not sure of temps off my head - I will delid though, I see that could potentially give me a good saving.

I hope for the high RPM fans and 30 FPI radiator to help dissipate heat faster
