Would you build this WC setup
Goal -- Build my first wc setup and fit it all inside my Cosmos S. Single CPU (LGA775) loop, upgrade to single GPU/CPU (LGA1136) loop or dual loops later.
After much reading on XS and elsewhere (thank you to those who have provided solid intelligent info!), I came up with a list of parts. Because I can get things cheaper from DirectCanada, this is where I am trying to get most of it. The rest comes from Sidewinder.
DirectCanada
1x Thermochill PA120.3 Triple 120MM Fan Water Cooling Radiator with 15MM Spacing *No Barbs*
1x Bitspower 1/2IN High Flow Nickel Plated Thermochill G3/8 Barb Fittings (2 pack)
1x Swiftech MCP355 High Performance 12V Industrial Water Cooling Pump 3/8IN Barbs
1x Primochill Primoflex Pro LRT UV Red 1/2IN ID 3/4IN OD Tubing (10 Feet)
7x Primochill Reusable UV Red Hose Clamps for 3/4 Inch Outer Diameter Tubing (2 pack)
2x Primochill UV Red Plastic Tee Fitting for Water Cooling T Line 1/2 Inch Barbs
6x Scythe Gentle Typhoon 120MM Case Fan 1850RPM 28DB 58.3CFM
-- Other things for fun
1x Bitspower Stop Fitting with Standard 2 Pin Temperature Probe 9CM Long G1/4 - I am thinking of plugging this into the T for temp readings
1x Bitspower BP-TB-CL Crystal T-BLOCK Water Cooling Tee Fitting for T-LINE *No Barbs* G1/4 - T somewhere before the rad for temp reading
Total: $306 CDN
Performance-PC
1x XSPC Dual 5.25" Bay Reservoir for Dual Laing DDC
1x Enzotech Sapphire CPU Water Block Rev. A with "Micro-Pin Design"
1x Enzotech Drain Plug G 1/4 Threaded Cap - 1/2" Barb
1x XSPC M20 x1.5mm to G1/4" Fillcap Adapter - This is for the future if I need it. I hate paying for shipping twice.
4x Bitspower Premium G1/4" High Flow 1/2" Fitting - Two for the T, two for the res.
Total: $140 USD
AFAICT the only thing left is the liquid which I'll try and get locally - 100% pure distilled water (no dyes).
Have I missed anything? I know this won't be cheap, will probably come out to just under $500 CDN after everything.
Planning:
Haven't planned how its going to fit in yet, but here is what I have in mind for the loop:
XSPC-res/DDC3.2 > T#1 > CPU > BP T (temp sensor) > Thermochill 120.3 > res
T#1 > plug for draining.
UPDATE #1:
Added rad in loop.. duh
UPDATE #2:
Clamps + fans add to DC order. DC carries fillport.. yes! Moved from sidewinder.
UPDATE #3:
Enzotech sapphire reva, heatkiller, or XT??
1x Enzotech Sapphire CPU Water Block Rev. A with "Micro-Pin Design" - $49 shipped. $70 saved over HeatKiller.
1x Swiftech Apogee XT CPU Waterblock - $85 shipped. $30 saved over HeatKiller.
UPDATE #4:
Added Performance-PC alternative. Damn its looking like a winner.
UPDATE #5:
Cleaned up buy list now, only things I will be getting are listed. Bad news though, performance-pc out of stock on the XSPC res top. Will have to buy it from sidewinder or elsewhere..
Swaped the slipstream fans for the gentle typhoons, thanks eth0s. Now I need to find a temp reader bay for the temp sensor...

I see what I see, and you see what you see. I can't make you see what I see, but I can tell you what I see is not what you see. Truth is, we see what we want to see, and what we want to see is what those around us see. And what we don't see is... well, conspiracies.
