Help me choose parts for loop

[Devil_Dog]

I'm getting ready to place an order for new parts for a new build.

What I'll be cooling is:

I7 920
2x GTX285's

I'll be giving the stacked MCR320's a shot for this.

So here's the first:

EK Supreme LT
2x EK GTX285 GPU blocks

The second:

Koolance CPU-350
2x Koolance GTX285 GPU blocks.

What's your opinion and thoughts.

If you have another suggestion please post and explain.

Thanks

What case will you be using?

i would get a block with more flow like the dtek v2 that way u keep your flow up, and mcp355 with top i like the EK delryn tops

I have BNIB Rocketfish that I plan to use for this build. I've had it sitting for some time now and thought it would be perfect for this. I will be modding it for my needs.

I will consider. For the pump I have the MCP655 (with speed control) with the Koolance top.

You probably want a slightly higher flow block like the EK Supreme or the GTZ if you are going to use an MCP655, especially if you want to have the GPUs in the same loop.

The 655 with the SC is great but I would opt for the EK R.2 Top or the Detroit Top. Check the reviews.

I've seen them but the top I have was given to me so I won't let it go to waste.

Anyone else have some input.

I'm going to order tonight. If I don't I will be plagued with if I don't buy it now it will be out of stock when I do.

[Devil_Dog]

Any other takers????

Hey, a Rocketfish brother! I would go with the EK LT for the cpu block, since I don't think with your pump and two cpu water blocks you will be able to give the Koolance the pressure it needs. Seems like from what Naekuh is saying and testing that the K350 is the best block, but it needs its own loop to truly shine. The EK LT should be less restrictive and cheaper than the K350 so i think it is a better bet. No opinion on the gpu blocks. For them I would probably just go with which ever is cheaper, though I do think the new Koolance gpu blocks are "purty".

[Devil_Dog]

Thanks to all.

One last call before I pull the trigger.

[Devil_Dog]

Well, I'm going to go with option one. After doing some research and feedback from fellow members I found that the EK Supreme LT is not as restictive as the Koolance 350. So that would be the best choice for a single loop.

So here is the parts list:

EK Supreme LT
2x EK GTX285 blocks
EK Multi res 150
2x stacked Swiftech MCR320's
MCP655 pump with Koolance Pump nozzle (already in my hands)
BP compression fittings
Feser Blue tubing
Yate loon fans

I think that's all. At least for the loop.

mcp 655 + ek rev.2 top or detriot thermo is the best performing

Seeker stated that above. I already have the Koolance top so I'm not going to fork the cash out for another at this time.

Also, looking at the polls. It's getting close between EK & Koolance.

If there is any other opinions please speak now before I order.

Thanks

One last shot before I order.

Thanks for all the input.
