WC build advise

Hello Guys,

i would like to watercool my stuff, i have this rig:

Fractal Design ARC XL
Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0
AMD FX8350
MSI Gaming R9 290X TF OC
Seasonic G650W PSU

At the moment there isn't a full block for the VGA card, so I have that put later into the loop.

The question is, what CPU block, fittings, pump (D5), reservoir, for radiators 1x 360mm slim (top) and 1x 240mm slim (front), 7x fans with digital fan controller and cables, splitters, clean water for liquid and white tube...

So i'm new in this field, if anyone can help what parts to order, build in what order the loop i'll appreciate that.

Thanks

I'd say that budget is a little tight :S

okey, what is the cost?

i'm flexible if this can serve me for few years

I would drop the D5, a good chunk of cash going there for no performance gain over some of the cheaper pumps. The tubing is clear, it was already in my basket but they do a white version too!

Thank you bro, i think the waterblock is for the reference PCB, but no worries, EK released the new blocks

Now i know what to buy build

Can I make a suggestion on the fans? Having built with the sp120s before I can say that four of those run louder than all 10 of my no e-loops combined. Small price increase but what is silence worth?

Jonahun · 23 Apr 2014 at 13:20

yes please! any idea can help. thanks

I assumed OP would just put them on a fan controller. Can always just buy the quiet editions if you don't want a fan controller or GT scythes instead.

Jonahun · 26 Apr 2014 at 19:08

what about these FANS or Scythe GT?

Avenged7Fold · 26 Apr 2014 at 19:10

Go for the Scythes, they still hold the radiator fan crown.

Where we can find them in these days?

Think they are end of life products now, although there are a few still floating about.
