First WC set up and need a few pointers

[skoreanime]

Parts list:

Swiftech GTZ CPU block
Koolance 9800GX2 GPU block
2 RAM blocks
Swiftech MCW30 NB block
Swiftech MC655 Pump
Swiftech Micro Reservoir
Black Ice GTX 480 Radiator
Primochill PC Ice NON-CONDUCTIVE Water Replacement
Tygon tubing
Stainless steel tighteners and clamps
Teflon tape

Case: Cooler Master HAF 932

Now, some people have suggested I go with a dual loop set up. I assume that means I'll need another rad and pump? Or can I just plop down another single radiator mid way through the main loop?

The picture is what I figure is a standard loop. I'll also upload the original pic if anyone wants to do a little artists rendition of what they think would be more ideal.

*Edit
Silly me, forgot to include the RAM blocks. Just snake that line after the NB to the RAM then to the Res :p

Cheers :toast2:

u have a few things wrong

1) primo chill coolant is worse than distilled water and costs like 50x more, just use thier colored tubing its better than tygon IMO and is colored
2) mcp655 is worse allround than the mcp355 with top, i like the ek delryn, but there is also the xpsc acrylic
3) ram dosnt need water, those blocks are vary restrictive and may be aluminum depending on what ones u are looking at, and a fan dose a better job
4) u dont use teflon tape with o-ringed barbs
5) the micro rez dosnt fit with that layout try a t-line or EK rez, i like t-lines

So replace the pump+res with something like this?

http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=33647&vpn=3830046994189&manufacture=EK%20Water%20Blocks

And I'll remove the primochill coolant and teflon tape from the wish list.

Any more suggestions would be much appreciated :)

i meant like this top http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/ekwaekx.html this rez http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/ekwaekres150.html and this pump http://store.yahoo.com/sidewindercomputers/swiftechmcp355.html

but u can just skip the rez get a T and do what i did http://i37.tinypic.com/2e1tvyt.jpg , u get more flow and its cheaper since u just need a DD T

and u will need PT nuke if u use distilled water http://www.petrastechshop.com/pepcobi1.html

[skoreanime]

Oh, snappy. The HAF has a fill port already drilled into the top so a T line actually sounds appealing. It'll save me a buncha money too lol.

Guess I'll go with that EK pump, T line and that PT nuke. NCIX carries both, which makes it much easier for me.

Thanks man :clap:

P.S.
Your bronze/copper colored P180 looks sweet.

[zanzabar]

u need the mcp355 and the EK piece for the pump, and what T are u getting the polypropylene have low flow and dont get acrylic i use this one http://www.petrastechshop.com/dadendet.html (didnt see it on ncix or any others)

and u should paint your case it adds alot to look affter u get everything installed get something like rustolium that bonds to the metal or use a primer and color

[skoreanime]

I was just going to use a cheap plastic T junction.

I don't actually plan on painting the tower, I like the robust steel look.
