The EK kit will offer more flexibility in replacing / upgrading parts, but for performance WC is all about radiator surface area. By keeping a 120mm rad you will have a similar performance. Maybe you...

Two words: reliable, and silent.

Sometimes the o-rings are dried up from being too long in storage and they lose their sealing properties. Wetting them before putting them in can help, some people mention vaseline or similar (make...

Very impressive. Which one is yours in the benchmark list ?

Well done EK, on both the good timing and the return to a clean design.
I'll certainly order 2 of these once the back plates and a parallel bridge are available.

I think the LL V2000 is closer to Mick's design (or the other way around, actually, since the V2000 is quite old) and to be honest when i had a V2000 myself i thought about a similar design as well....

I have to say, this trend of hard piping is quite nice. The results are amazing everytime.

Neoprene tubing ?

I am using one just like the one BMSliger posted above. Does the job.

I am using a dedicated fanless PSU for pumps, fans, controllers and such. Got myself a Seasonic unit for this, but any good low power unit would be good.
I also have a cable running through with a...

I got the T-71103 for my previous case (A-71F) and it fit perfectly, with the new IO panel hole size. I suppose the top for A71 and A77 is exactly the same ?

Hard piping is always very, very cool. Nice work mate !

But what path of least resistance ? I dont get it: the only path (and there's only one) is through each block. There is no shortcut. So alright flow is divided by 2 in each block, as i said in a...

The vid has it wrong. First there is air in the loop, flow will actually become a lot better when air is cleared - second the flow cannot "jump the bridge" as the video uploader said...

Yeah the actual solution is to displace the radiators entirely to another room or outside or as some do, underground - geothermal cooling, this is by far the best solution. Try & find the posts of...

No not at all. The heat produced is just extracted from the PC in a more efficient manner, but if you consider the system as a whole it amounts to the same.

Now if we consider the small savings in...

And to answer your question, yes the flow will be equal, provided both blocks have the same restriction (if they are the same blocks it's easy of course).
Flow in each block will be half of your...

From your drawing, you will plug both top exits, am i right ? Otherwise it doesnt make sense...

Using BlackIce SR1's and XSPC RX in the same loop, no problem at all.

Yep no frame = bad for liquid cooling radiator. Unless you build a shroud of sorts that masks the openings, i guess...

You dont because you must NOT screw them all the way (although they tend to get rough on the skin anyway: use gloves...). Just hand tighten them until it's reasonably tight. Give a slight yank on the...

MaverickCZ: your pump->CPU tube is way too long, and your radiator->reservoir return line too short or not routed properly (you'll have a kink in no time there) - i'd consider using one of the top...

Nice temps indeed, provided you managed to keep it quiet enough :) That's the real challenge !

Yep i didnt read the "X2" part, sorry. It will be perfect for you.

It will definitely be a bit struggling there. A 2nd pump would do you a lot of good, put them both on a PWM controller so you can tune down the speed / noise as needed. Better have too much and be...
