Question regarding rebuilding my loop

[layte]

Currently I have two GTX480's in SLI, both are under water. The loop consists of a Laing DDC1+ (600L/hr) -> 2xEK 480 blocks -> Thermochill PA120.3 rad -> back to pump. I used to have my CPU under water as well (i7-920 @4.2Ghz) but I had to strip that loop down and put my Megahalems air cooler back on as the pump failed.

I would like to have all of that in a single loop, I realise that all that is probably too much for a single 360 rad to handle, but could I add a single rad somewhere in the loop (mounted on the rear fan port on my Corsair 800D) to help with this, and would the pump manage?

Also, while I am at this I might as well replace the fans with better parts (I had some cheap fans knocking around when I first put it all together), what would you guys recommend? I have to strip this all down anyway as my 'clear' liquid had UV reactive dye which has started to break down.

You can run 2 gtx and an i7 off one 360 did it myself for a while, temps were not great but still much better than air especially on the GPU's.

When I had the 700d I also messed around with a 120.1 on the back and a 140.1 on the mid plate.

Your pump should be fine.

Most people recommend gentle typhoons now but to be honest if your running a fan on a controller, zalman zm f3 or some basic yates will be good enough. All depends on how much money you want to spend!

If a 360 temps were a bit high with 2 x 470's I would say yes try and add some more rad space if you are running 2 x 480's. If you are using the 800d could you not mod it to accomodate a 240 rad in the bottom section? If you don't want to do that then I would go for at least a rad on the back. As for the pump though, it will be fine as rads aren't that restrictive compared to some blocks.

Fans depends on budget and what you are after (size, colour, led's, speed to be run at, static pressure etc) but people tend to us scythe gt's or akasa vipers/apaches for high air flow, or if you are going to be running the fans slower through low fpi rads yate loons are reasonable as fans (and amazing when you factor in how cheap they are)

I'm gonna be adding a second GTX 470 in sli soon to an XSPC RX360, i'm confident it will 'take it', albeit with higher temps

but I still expect the system to be very quiet and as long as the temps aren't harmful then gotta love watercooling

Performance over looks is my priority, I don't care about LED's or flashing lights etc.. Cost is not an issue either, although I don't want anything crazy, so no 5k RPM Delta recommendations please.

I did find a stack of Noctua NF-P12's in my cupboard earlier (5 in total.. goodness knows how I collected that lot), how do they perform as radiator fans?

They're supposed to be quite poor on rads. There was a review somewhere but can't think where it was. If money is no object grab some 1850 sycth gt's and stick them on a fan controller, can then dial them down when you want silence.

If you don't care about noise and want the very best performance grab some san ace 101 but they are loud even when at 5v.
