Spec Me W/C Setup

[Mart2912]

So basically I'm looking at getting my first proper water cooling setup. I know what I need, but I don't know specifically (Such as reservoir size, size of tubing, max radiator size etc) .

I'm using a 3770K and it will soon be in a Cooler Master Cosmos II (Which I will be cutting out a window for, incoming new thread in the case section ). Now, I'm not sure if it's worth cooling my GPU as well, or wait until sometime next year when I upgrade? Using a EVGA GTX 780 ACX FTW at the moment.

Reservoir
I was thinking along the lines of something like this for the reservoir:

or

Am I guessing correctly with the dual res that you can essentially supply your CPU with 1 colour liquid and your GPU with another?

Radiator
For the radiator I think I would be looking at a 360mm max at the top? Not entirely sure with the Cosmos II

CPU Block, Tubing, Fittings, Fluid
No idea.

I really am taking a swing in the dark at the moment, but it's always good to know/learn new things. I am willing to spend a bit extra if it means getting a decent setup that will last and perform well.

Advice/direction for a water cooling setup would be awesome.

That dual D5 reservoir has the pumps in series, so it would only be for a single loop.
I think Monsoon do a dual-loop bay reservoir that works as you describe, although I don't think it has pump space too.

I also have a Cooler Master Cosmos II case waiting for my new computer build going into it.

The XSPC RayStorm D5 Photon AX360 WaterCooling Kit is what I am going for as I have been
advised that this kit with fit the Cooler Master Cosmos II case without any issues.

The XSPC RayStorm D5 Photon RX360 V3 WaterCooling Kit is the recommended kit to go
for but unfortunately the RX360 radiator wont fit in the Cooler Master Cosmos II case
due to it being too thick.

The main issue with the Cooler Master Cosmos II case is there is not a lot of room at
the top of the case to put a thick radiator because of the spacing between the top
of the case and the top of your motherboard.

With a 360mm radiator at the top of the case, you can only go ether push or pull with
fans on one side of the radiator, the fans above the case top fan shroud.

You won't be able to go push and pull with fans on both sides of the radiator.

I would recommend you reading the thread below over at the Overclock.net forums
for more information on the Cooler Master Cosmos II and WaterCooling.

That thread over at Overclock.net forums is where I got all my help from. There is also very
good case modding tips in that thread for the Cooler Master Cosmos II and WaterCooling.

My username on the Overclock.net forums is the same as here and so you can feel free
to follow the questions I have asked and the response I got back in that thread about
WaterCooling for the Cooler Master Cosmos II case.

Ah, I see. I will most likely go for something along the lines of the first option then, unless something else catches my eye.

I also have a Cooler Master Cosmos II case waiting for my new computer build going into it.

Thanks for that, I will take a look at that thread.
