Hey guys,
I allready got a lot of Bitspower fittings allready, so I just needed a little few of them.
Any changes or ideas of what I can do here? :D
1) I allread got a corsair 800D, but I really really want a mountain mod
2) Should I just get an EK dual top instead of 2 separate?
3) Should I get 6990 instead of nVidia 590 GTX?

lemme mod your order:
1. XSPC H1 Case - 499.99
2. XSPC RX360 or TC PA120.3 x 2 <i never saw the point in having quad rads in a multi radiator system with room>
3. You have dual pumps? you going redundancy or dual loops?
Fittings: Whatever you want...
Run single loops for single gpu and the blocks your using.
Tie up the two rads so its goes.. front rad -> board / blocks -> rear rad -> res.
Im not happy with MM these days... ive recommended too many of them and had the people i recommend tell me, its not what they were expecting.

Only gonna be 1 GPU, but a 6990 or 590 GTX.
3) Dual loops - was thinking separate for the GPU, and cpu/wb together.

+1 to Naekuh's XSPC Hive 1 suggestion. Having owned 2 mountain mods and seeing a Hive 1 in person, the XSPC is much better quality!!

mmm cpu solo on a single 360.
This way u can forget about it at almost any fan setting.
The gpu, tie them on the other 360.
Trust me.. your not going to miss 120x1 extra when your already at a 360 for just gpu's + board + whatnots.
Keep your more heat sensitive ie.. cpu.. on its own controlled loop, so u can litterally forget about it.

Makes sense. Good idea. :)
Btw, do you think it is necessary with 45 degree rotaries and rotary compressions? I allready got like 10 regular compression bistpowers at home.

As much as I like my MM cases, the XSPC are pretty sweet and if I was getting a new one today that's the route I would go. Much more refined, although I do not like having to buy every addon just to make it functional. I would also look at DD cases.

I vote 6990. And while you're buying stuff, get a couple angled fittings, just in case. You never know when they might come in handy.
Rather too much than not enough.

I also feel like 6990. I of course will be getting an EK Nickel/Acetal WB for it.
Do you recommend me getting rotary angled or just angled?

Rotary fittings are nice. Personal opinion, but I like them.
