am new to water cooling and need some advice. I currently have a fairly nice system but am not happy with the temps. They are as follows.
Gigabyte x58-ud5 mobo
core 17 980x @4.28
megahalems cpu cooler with coolermaster 90 cfm push pull
12gb ocz platinum ddr3 1600
2 5870 in crossfire
wd black 2tb and 1tb
corsair 1k psu
blue ray burner and blue ray rom
atcs 840
My temps idle around 30-38c and load can reach 70c.
I contacted Dangerden about parts and here is what the reccomended.
MC TDX i7 CPU block
2 DD-5870 GPU blocks
1 CrossSLI fitting package
DDC 3.25 12v pump
Black Ice SR1 360mm Radiator
DD Single Bay reservoir
One 90 Degree Rotary fitting for the bottom GPU, this will help point the tubing out away from the PSU
8 Feet of DD/TFC 3/8" tubing
Bottle of Feser One Fluid
ATX PSU bypass adapter
This would create one loop and they said that was enough to cool my system and oc more. I would like everything to have compression fittings vs the clips. Just looks better. I also was looking at a EK supreme hf for the cpu block vs the dangerden. I am also considering one 360 and one 240 but not sure if I would need 2 separate loops or if I could just run from res-pump-cpu-northbridge-360rad-5870-5870-240 rad-res.
