First Watercooling build: First Thoughts?

[Sluggercz]

Hello everyone,
I have gotten into overclocking both my GPU and CPU recently, and have hit a brick wall, also known as heat.
So i started looking into W/C my system and i've put together this list of parts.
First here are the main parts of my system + my case:
-Q6600, eVGA 680i LT mobo, eVGA 8800GTS (G92), 4GB G.Skill DDR2-800, OCZ GameXStream 750 PSU, and finally the huge CM Stacker 830.

With all of the space available to me with this case (and more on hand with my dremel :) ) I was thinking of a dual loop system with Loop #1 containing CPU and the NB, and Loop #2 containing my videocard (eventually going to SLI my system)


_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
My parts list consists of :
LOOP 1
-1 Laing DDC w/ PetrasTech Top (http://www.petrastechshop.com/laddcwpeddto.html)
-1 Swiftech MCR-220 Radiator (http://www.jab-tech.com/Swiftech-MCR-220-Radiator-Black-pr-3199.html)
-2 Low Speed Yate Loon 120mm's (http://www.jab-tech.com/YATE-LOON-120mm-Case-Fan-D12BL-12-Low-Speed-Ball-Bearing-pr-3772.html)
-1 D-tek FuZion CPU Block (http://www.jab-tech.com/D-tek-FuZion-CPU-Water-Block-pr-3667.html)
-1 Swiftech MCW30 NB Block (http://www.jab-tech.com/Swiftech-MCW30-Chipset-cooler-pr-3251.html)

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
LOOP 2
-1 Laing DDC w/ PetrasTech Top (http://www.petrastechshop.com/laddcwpeddto.html)
-1 Maze 5 GPU Block (http://www.dangerden.com/store/product.php?productid=254&cat=48&page=1)
-1 Swiftech MCR-220 Radiator (http://www.jab-tech.com/Swiftech-MCR-220-Radiator-Black-pr-3199.html)
-2 Low Speed Yate Loon 120mm's (http://www.jab-tech.com/YATE-LOON-120mm-Case-Fan-D12BL-12-Low-Speed-Ball-Bearing-pr-3772.html)
-1 Set of IandH custom heatsinks (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=165270)

-D-tek Liquid F/X UV Dye: Visible Blue (http://www.jab-tech.com/Dtek-Liquid-F-X-UV-Dye-Visible-Blue-pr-3705.html)

- 10ft of Tygon R-3603 7/16" ID, 5/8" OD (http://www.jab-tech.com/Tygon-R-3603-7-16-ID-5-8-OD-Chemical-Tubing-AAC00033-pr-3957.html)

And finally the decision between using reservoirs or T-lines w/ fillports.
This is where I could really use some input as to whether a T-line would impede flow or not, or whether reservoirs are just plain better to use.

Currently I am pitting Two Danger Den Single Bay Reservoirs (http://www.dangerden.com/store/product.php?productid=52&cat=27&page=1) vs. two DangerDen Delrin T's (http://www.jab-tech.com/Dangerden-Derlin-T-pr-3906.html) with two DangerDen Fillports (http://www.dangerden.com/store/product.php?productid=56&cat=33&page=1)

(Also quick question, I have heard about a "Martin T" which is supposedly the best around and was wondering where I could find the post or where to purchase them)

Thank you for reading and any advice is greatly appreciated! :D

if your going to sli your system, wouldnt it be better to get a mcr320 for the gpu's? and then you can put the quad and the chipset on the mcr220. but remember quads do give out alot of heat.

Thats almost the same part list as my 1st project(i post a thread in February about that).

Maybe you like the Swiftech Reseirvor or a Multi-Option Reservoir those are good.

I can probably step up at least one of the radiators to a MCR320, but it might take a bit of work to fit two. The price difference between the MCR320 and MCR220 is very small so if i can make space, i will definately get the 320's

Do you guys think I should go with a T-line with a Fillport for each loop or a reservoir for each loop?

It's really personal choice and whether or not you can fit a res in your case and depends on what your personal layout is.
