**Need advice on Watercooling my Lian Li V2100B* Similar to Vadim Gaming PC's!!**

[Waterlogged]

Where would I place the killcoil? Here is a picture... (I don't exactly know how it functions xD, is it placed "inside" the loop?)

Inside the res or a tube would be fine.

Doesn't a HIGHER flow rate equal MORE heat dissipation? And considering that probably with 2-3 GTX480 that heat would be more than 1KW. Going through all 4 radiators, all the waterblocks, that at LEAST 2 DDC 3.25 would be required? The way I see it, going with 2 is the minimum and going with three will allow for more flexibility in the future. And going with a HUGE 250mm reservoir will result in more time for ALL that water to cool down before having to go back through the loop.

Here is quote by skinnee @overclock...
"When you put two pumps in series, you're boosting the PQ curve way up (as seen in the charts above), the restriction of your loop or pressure drop moves further along the X or flow axis...translating into a higher flow rate for your loop."
And with a greater flow rate, equal more heat dissipation. So right now I'm thinking of either going with 2 or 3 (Pricing Aside of course, just all for performance).

That's true, to a point. There is also the point of diminishing returns. This is the point where you start throwing absolutely ridiculous amounts of money at the loop and get very little drop in temps in return, for most ppl, this is ~1.5 GPM. On the graphs, this is the point where the line turns sort of flat.

What if I just had 2 male and 2 females in TOTAL for 2 radiators? The only part I'd replace would be simply whats between the radiators (So the QDC would connect to the OUT of one radiator and the IN on the other). In this case would one (male and female) QDC ends on EACH radiator be sufficient?

When I want to replace my graphics cards for example, I'd shut down the system. And unplug the tubing between the 2 radiators (and consequently the GPU blocks).

I really don't want to have QDC's everywhere because of their enormous size. It would really mess with the overall look of the system. Again, I'm aiming for this setup to be accepted at MDPC... Yeah I know a bit optimistic but spending 2500USD+ just on the watercooling setup+some uni-sleevings should be more than enough to look similar to those featured on their site. Damn sleeving those EXTRA LONG PSU cables of the Silverstone ST1500W PSU is gonna be A LOT of work. lol, I am also ordering uni-sleeving extensions for all my PSU cables just in case I get lazy.

If I'm understanding you correctly and everything else is between the rads, that would work. You should really talk to the master of QD's, NaeKuh. He had a topic a little over a year ago about QD's extolling their virtues.

Wow, had no idea about all those problems with the reservoir. It seems to ooze quality although I could be wrong. What reservoir would you recommend? I'd like one similar to the Coolplex radiator but if I were to go with those, I'd need to go with RED fluid. And as discussed before, simply going with distiller water and a lil' additive is most optimal. -- Heh, this is why I went with the XSPC Aluminum radiator. I thought the aluminum wasn't in direct contact with the water so that it wouldn't cause any problems.

Whoa, slow down there, I think you may have taken what I said a bit too seriously or little out of context (maybe both). Frozen has had a few problems, maybe 7-8 total (IIRC) out of probably a 100+ (maybe more) total units made. He's also been really good about his customer service responsibilities in those cases so if your still interested, go ahead and order one.

Well I checked the Swiftech radiators and they are much too big at 128mm. They need to be exactly 120mm. Unfortunately this means I can' fit XSPC radiators down there. However, these magicool radiators are better than the swiftech radiators @ low speeds. It's thickness is also much larger than the Swiftech's 34mm, at 45mm.

Ah, gotcha. Actually, I believe they're a little bit worse because they are more or less the old Black Ice Xtreme design which were pretty much one of the the first true designed for PC rads, second only to the Black Ice Pro (IIRC). You probably wouldn't notice a difference in performance though.
