Water Cooling Build

[Harbz007]

Hey guys, this is going to be my first water cooling build, just wanted your thoughts and opinions of it. Its all going into a Corsair 900D

XSPC RayStorm CPU WaterBlock (Intel) - for my i7 930
XSPC D5 Dual Bay Reservoir/Pump Combo
x 2 XSPC RX360 120mm Radiator - Top of case and bottom
x2 XSPC Razor GTX680 GPU Waterblock (Raystorm Style) - for my GTX 670 FTW's
XSPC Razor SLI Flow Bridge <-- Hopefully its long enough (... LOL)
x6 Scythe Gentle Typhoon 120mm 1150 RPM - 3 Pin
XSPC HighFlex Hose 7/16" ID, 5/8" OD Blue/UV Blue 2M <-- Already have 4 UV Cathodes somewhere in the house, hopefully i can find them and hopefully they still working
x 10 XSPC G1/4" to 7/16" ID, 5/8" OD Compression Fitting (Black Chrome) <--- Will buy other fittings if needed (90 or 45 degree)

Now thats all the parts, just the fluid left i think , What should i put in here? I was thinking of just throwing in Mayhems Ultra Pure H20 Watercooling Fluid, with a Kill Coil, but is that all i need in terms of Fluid? No other anti corrosive stuff?? Or are there better options for fluid??

Thanks in advance for your help

The build looks excellent only thing I would change is your choice of fans to Scythe gentle typhoons at a speed of your choice. To power them you could buy a fan splitter.

As for fluid I would just buy deionised water from halfords and stick a silver coil in it.

+1

Though good premix i.e. mayhems is good fluid, you don't have to worry about additives etc...just fill and forget pretty much

Gentle Typhoons at a speed of my choice, so you mean use a Fan Controller ?

Typhoons better than NF-F12's??
And Halfords Deionised water ? Do you mean Battery Top up Fluid ?? or whatever its called lol

Sorry i'm new to all this, so just making sure

Also i slightly changed the setup, changed to a Corsair 900D(cant beleive i forgot about it ), and also changed the second RX240 to a RX360

Yes though you'll want to look at either the 1450 or 1850 rpm versions and stick them on a fan controller

 

[Harbz007]

Ahhh ok, ill go for the 1850RPM versions

Boy i cant wait for the 900D to be released

Thanks guys for all your help

Ok, ermm for a Fan Controller any suggestions? I mean im looking at the Scythe Kaze-Master, but its only 4 Channel? I knows are version with 6 Channel fan control, just cant find it on Overclockers Website LOL

Go for this fan controller Lamptron FC2: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BB-000-LP there is one in b grade for £20 too.
Alternatively you could just get a fan controller with less ports and use splitters.

I have never really understood the attraction to fan controllers too much, just mod the molex power to 7 or 5v.

 

[pgi947]

Lamptron, any of, you won't regret it

OK ill be getting the one Suggested by mjones1
