To WC or Not?

Thank for the advices guys, there will be a build log for this setup later, but atm still try to sort out the bits for the custom watercooling(yes going with plan B instead of A), here is my new list of parts for the setup, what do you guys think?

EK Supreme HF Nickel CPU block (ordered)
EK FC5870 V2 Nickel GPU block x2 (ordered)
Thermochill PA140.3 triple Rad & XSPC RX240 120mm Radiator - Black or will 1x PA120.4 able to cool both CPU and X-fire GPUs?
for pump will this be ok? XSPC 5.25" Dual Drive Bay Reservoir for One Laing DDC Pump or do i need this instead? XSPC 5.25" Dual Drive Bay Reservoir for Dual Loop & Two Laing DDC Pumps.

just need some advices on the pump/reservoir and the Rad then i can order those as well...thank guys
 
140.3 will probably do it without the rx240. Depends on the fans. A 120.4 is also a beast but difficult to integrate to a case.

120*120*4=57600
140*140*3=58800
 
UPDATE...

My water cooling setup will be....

EK Supreme HF Nickel CPU block
EK FC5870 V2 Nickel GPU block x2
XSPC 5.25" Dual Drive Bay Reservoir for 2 DDC pumps & Two Laing 18w DDC Pumps
XSPC RX360 triple rad & RX240 dual rad
Feser G1/4" Thread SLI and XFire Fittings for 1,2 and 3 Slot
Bitspower 1/4" Thread Blanking Plug Matt Black x2
Bitspower 1/4" Thread Compression Fitting for 7/16" ID - 5/8" OD Tubing Matt Black x12
XSPC 7/16" ID - 5/8" OD (11-16mm) High Flex Tubing : Clear / UV Blue and UV Orange


will start a build log once i get my TJ07 parts back from powder coating...

Don't use coolant that is dyed. The dye always comes out somewhere and if that's inside your pump it can die.

Nanoxia make nice coolant but simple de-ionised water with some PT-Nuke or a silver coil is just as good.

Thank Mike, got myself 1000ml of Nanoxic extreme stark clear fluid, hope that will do the trick.

also do you guys ever use Thread Lock to secure the CF or Barbs?

Just got my TJ07 bits and panels back from Powder coating, so will start rebuilding the case tonight, the worst bits will be doing the sleeves for the power supplies and all the leads, hopefully i will get those done as it will worth it when done.....

and do you guys think i should set the water cooling up with the triple rad for the 2 graphic card and the dual rad for the cpu or the other way? i think i may still have problem with the triple rad at the bottom of the case, as normally i have the case right next to my desk at the right hand side which have solid side support panel(in fact both sides of the desk have solid support panel), so air cant go out or come in from the case right side vent, so that mean it have to blow or suck the hot air out of the case from the left hand side vent, or can i set the fans up to suck cool air on to the triple rad then let the hot air go out at the back of the case?
 
As for your rads i would as you have suggested use the triple rad for the gpu loop and the dual for the cpu loop.
As for setting up your rad in the bottom of the case, i would look at a way of sitting your case approximaetly 2" away from the side of your desk that way you can setup the fans to draw air through the rad and out the side next to your desk.
