Currently water cooling a i7 920 @ 4.22 Ghz (Ek supreme block) & 4870 X2 @ stock (Xspc block) using a XSPC Dual 750 Bay Reservoir & Pump.

I want to get rid of the kandalf case because it looks crap and sick of the dust bunnies, dont think im getting the best out of the tri rad that came with it, also bloody door going to do me serious damage if i catch me leg on it once again:o.

What im going to go for is the cosmos s case to which im going to fit a tri rad xspc RX360 with Scythe Kaze Jyuni 1900RPM Slip Stream 120mm Fans in pull config.

A second Rad fitted to the fan hole in the base ill be using a xspc RX240 but with only one kaze fan fitted in push config

Idea is it will be both active and passive in cooling as the space under the hard drive bay seems a waste to me.

All fans will be controlled hopefully using a Zalman ZM-MFC1 Plus

1. what are your thoughts on this?

2.Are there better Fans or Rads to be used?

3. how good is the Fan controller I have opted for?

Two rads in a loop is not usually a 'better' solution as the reduction in flow ofsets any additional cooling.
And you've already got two restrictive blocks and an average head pump.
I'd say swap the pump and just use a single 120.3

As for fans - I'll leave that for others

no need to say sorry - it was a general statment for all full cover blocks EK, Xspc or otherwise.
Would still recomend getting a ddc pro with res top. The flow rate of the Xspc 750 is great but it needs more Oomph to push the water through those type of blocks.
