I havent touched water cooling for a good 8 years - my last project took 3 months to source parts, and had a lovely set of 10mm brazed and soldered tubing that took me a long time to put together. Looked good and lasted well until my dog (lovely order collie) got a tad over excited and the case went over (dont blame her, my fault for saying the W word at the wrong time).
I went to avapochill forced cooling case which was about as good as it got, CPU temps around minus 10 degrees- found the case, but fittings etc are old, and I am just cant be dooing with messing around with trying to source new parts, getting the heating elements sorted out, checking compressor and all the rest.
Now that IO have finished digressing, I am looking for a good spec on parts for my current set up. I am running an LGA 2011 i7 CPU, pair of EVGA 780 ti's in a Corsair 750 case. Budgetwise I have no limit, but orefer to keep it lower as this lets me buy even more toys (I fly drones as well, and got introduced to Fat Shark FPV goggles on a hexacopter. Want!
I have a liking for the solid style tubing, as it would fit with my build, apart from that not too much. Its a green build (as in colour) so if it can keep that theme going all the better.
Main probs are as I say, being away from WC for a while, I have no idea on reliability ,efficiency etc. Looking at fittings etc., I woul dlike ot go as large bore as possible, but if smaller bore works as well, then thats fine too.
sorry for the long post to a short question, thanks for input
