Thoughts on these 2 loops for new build

[amb001]

Hi, I'm in the process if starting a new WC Build. My last one was about 3 years ago so I'm sure things have moved on a fair bit since then but I haven't kept myself up to speed with the changes and developments in this scene.

I'm looking at having 2 loops (each with own pump and res) inside a TJ07 case. I'm a little unsure if these will provide enough cooling for the components in each loop so any thoughts or suggestions will be really appreciated.

Loop 1 (CPU & Motherboard)
CPU - I2700K (will be overclocked to around 5Ghz) cooled by EK-Supreme HF CPU Block
Mob - ASUS Maximus 4-Z with EK-FB ASUS Max4 Extreme block
Rad - Black Ice GTS 360 fitted in roof of case
Fans - Scythe Typhoon AP-14

Loop 2 (GPU's)
2 x EVGA 3GB GeForce GTX 580 Classified Hydro Copper in SLI
Rad - XSPC RX 480 fitted in floor of case
Fans - Scythe Typhoon AP-14

A further GTX 580 may be added into Loop 2 at some point in the future hence the bigger Radiator being installed now.

My main concern is probably with Loop 1 and the use of the GTS Rad but again any thoughts or suggestions are more than welcome.

Many thanks in advance - Andy

Just swap the gts rad for an xspc ex rad. I personally wouldn't bother with mobo blocks unless you really want that look, for the majority of people all they do is dump more heat into your loop. You maybe better off buying normal 3gb cards and buying the blocks you want although i think only ek make blocks for the 3gb cards.

Many thanks for the comments guys. I already have the 3GB EVGA cards on the way. They come pre-fitted with the blocks and overclocked to some extent to save me a bit of work!

I'll wait for the TJ07 to arrive and then fit the motherboard to check the clearance room for a EX360 rad..... I suspect it's going to be a tight fit.

I'm really liking the look of the koolance RP-454X2 and the concept of fitting the pumps directly to the bay to reduce the amount of tubing. There does though seem to be quite a few negative reviews about the bleeding of them even on the 1.3 revision which is putting me off a bit.

Good job I'm not in a huge rush to complete this build!!!!
