I will probably stick a rear exhaust fan in so 17 plus the PSU fan.

are you sure that's gonna be enough? :p

and regarding tubing and fittings, I'd say 16OD acrylic tubing (just because of the size of the case) and bitspower fittings
 
Leaning towards soft tubing, In the past all my builds have been 1/2" ID but I am thinking of going 7/16 as it will make connecting up the rear side rads cleaner.

I keep looking at acrylic but the unsupported spans I would have to do from front to back worry me, plus I am not sold on the looks of it.
Most acrylic builds I have seen either use loads of 90deg fittings to make it work or tight awkward looking bends with the tube.

I will keep looking though.
 
Well I decided on radiators!

YOUR BASKET
4 x XSPC RX480 Quad Fan Radiator V3 £104.99 (£419.96)
Total : £419.95 (includes shipping : ).



Hope to have them at the end of the week if OcUK gets their stock delivered.

I picked the XSPC RX480 V3 as the 360 versions come out on top of Bundymanias review at the fan RPMs I will be running and the 4 ports will be useful for temperature sensors and drain valves.
 
That's very nice.
Those are one of my favorite rads and good looking too.
Of course the crown belong to TFC Fazer 360s, but they are an old design already.
 
Do you mean the TFC Admiral?
I really liked the look of it, the quality looks amazing but no 480 size so I discounted it.
I don't mind old designs and almost kept with the trusty SR-1 but sacrificed 9FPI silence for a little more FPI and the 4 port design.

Ah the TFC XChanger, I can't even find them for sale anymore?

Yeah the RX has 13 FPI, slightly more than the 9 of the SR-1, I just hope it won't make a difference dB wise as I am so used to my SR-1s with Scythe GTs.

And by dB I mean the air noise over the rad fins, not the noise directly from the fans.

4 of, nice man !
 
Yep, two for the GPUs and two for CPU and mobo.

Should keep the temperatures relatively stable and could run almost passive at idle.

Thanks Andy, I finished up the fan cables last night, decided to have each rad on its own fan channel of the Aquaero for maximum control.
With each cable being within an inch of exact length to plug in it should make for some nice cable management.

Going to do the same thing with the Aquabus cables to connect up the flowmeters and pumps to the Aquaero.

I can run passive with 2x240x60's with a 3770k and a 780.

Nice! I could probably run passive at idle with my current setup but I only have manual fan control and would forget to turn them back up!
 
Here you go, a few quick pictures.

I will be cutting down the pump power cables, sleeving them and using a black molex to tidy them up.

Thanks for the pics can you get a pic of the mounting mechanism attached to the res Please as I am looking for a tube res for my 900d

Here you go, these are the optional rubber decouplers, the ones that come with the pump top are solid plastic.

I didn't put all the washers and nuts on but you get the idea.
