Hi their im going to do a water cooling rig soon when the Corsair 900D comes out and im wanting to seriously water-cool it.

so far my water cooling set up will include

cpu:3970x
gpu: 3x titan
psu: xfx 1250w
fans: 26x scythe gentle typhoons
mobo: Asus rampage iv extreme (2011 socket)
memory: 64gb corsair dominator
ssd: 3x samsung 500gb
hdd: 1x wd 2tb


Radiators:

480 mm (top)
480 mm (bottom left side)
360 mm (front)
240 mm (bottom right side)

W/C components:

Asus Rampage IV Extreme waterblock
2x4 piece dominator ram cooling blocks
ek supremecy cpu block
3x gpu's in serial flow
2x d5 on bitspower dual d5 holder
250mm res
xspc 7/16 tubing 3 metres
22x bitspower black chrome 7/16 fittings

i know its overkill but i want a full water cooled rig

questions:
1.In which order would you make the water flow,i was thinking res/pump,pump,360,480,240,gpu,gpu,gpu,mobo,ram,top mobo,cpu,ram,480 not sure if that will be the best way.

2.Is it too much for a single loop?


Any questions are appreciated
thanks
Josh

Wow, that is going to cost a pretty penny - I'm guessing that'll be over £6000 easily.

Anyway, obviously it's up to you but it seems a bit excessive to me - however, if you have the money, time and patience then this would be a perfect water-cooled rig to build.
 
Zakblood i like to build my own so i get experience and know whats what.also means something to me (like build a airfix kit)

it sure will cost a bomb but it will be used to its potentional and will be futureproof
 
spend as much as you like, nothing is future proof, rule of my thumb is spend for what you need now, as next year, something 2x as fast will be out for half the cost.

didn't mean anything by it either, was just saying, i've been building for 20 years plus now, but still bought a bundle as xmas as i wanted it (OC'ed) done for me, enjoy your build and let us know how you get on with pic's, only showing you link etc so you could have the chance to go and see the shop and have it built and displayed for all of us to see etc and you get guided tour etc.

happy gaming you lucky lad :)
 
I suppose thats true i mean i dont want something that gets outdated as soon as a new demanding games (like crysis 3) comes out.

My poor wallet,i might aswell get a loan out.if i was single i could afford it but women can spend more than a man can on components
