I need someone good at watercooling

[ddbtkd456]

I need someone good with watercooling to check this over when they can. its my first build and I want to make sure everything fits together right and have a couple of questions. Its over in the new planning section here is the link for reasons of lack of time.

thanks.

It looks good besides the universal CPU block. I posted on another thread with this recommendation to change a universal block to a 380i. I don't know if it was your thread or someone else's. In terms of compatibility, I think it will all fit. The only thing I can think of is that the PSU in the 900d goes in the bottom compartment AFAIK. This would interfere with your quad 120mm rads.

Are you sure since the psu sits on its side?

What are you talking about? That EK block is great...if a little plain. Its called universal because it has AMD and Intel mounts,not because its somehow inferior. That block consistently in the top 3 of most block shootouts.

 

 

OP-Kit looks good,you wont fit 2 quads and a PSU in the bottom bay tho. Check that you blocks match your cards spec,GPU blocks are designed with ref spec in mind,only EK and Liquid extasy make blocks for non ref cards

One quad in the basement and one on the very top of the case.

I was under the impression a universal block was not meant for a specific socket. Like a universal VGA water block. You know, the ones that fit every card. Is that not the case in CPU blocks? Thank for telling me. I'll make sure to differentiate the two from now on.

The 2 are different,a universal GPU block cools far better than a full cover,it is not desirable as it doesnt cool VRAM or the VRM section. Its this reason most go for fullcovers and not uniblocks,not because core cooling is poor

Those are the exact reasons I bought my EK block!
